Oreo Cheesecake Tips

• Here are my tips for making a great cheesecake.
• All ingredients need to be at room temperature before you begin. And keep the mixer on a low setting during the mixing and beating process.
• Do not over-mix the cheesecake; it will fall if too much air is whipped into the cheesecake. Mix only until ingredients are incorporated. Beating a cheesecake for 2 or 3 extra minutes is not helpful.
• Cheesecakes may not be fully set when removed from the oven – this is OK. The cheesecake may have a slight wiggle in the center when you remove it from the oven. The cheesecake will continue to set up after you remove it from the oven. It will firm up as it cools.

How to prevent cheesecake from cracking

To prevent cracking when the cheesecake cools run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake from the springform pan. Once the cheesecake cools completely remove the springform pan, it is important to wait until the cheesecake sets up completely.

Is a water bath necessary for this Oreo cheesecake?

It is not necessary but it is highly recommended. Please consider using a water bath for this recipe. It helps to moderate the temperature of the oven. Most ovens do not heat continually; they cycle between not heating and then heating to maintain the temperature.

What size pan do I use?

Ideally please use the 9-inch sized pan, this is the size of the pan this recipe was developed. If you desire to use a different sized pan, your cooking times will vary.

How many Oreos do I use?

We are using Oreo cookies in three different measurements. For the crust, you need to crush the cookies before you measure them. For the batter, you will use six cookies, and for the top of the cheesecake, you will use eight cookies.

How to store an Oreo Cheesecake?

You should store this cheesecake in the refrigerator. Lightly wrap with plastic wrap, but make sure it is always refrigerated when serving this creamy cheesecake.

Does this Oreo Cheesecake freeze well?

This cheesecake freezes very well for up to 3 months. You can freeze it whole, or you can freeze it by the slice, it is up to you. I like to double wrap the cheesecake with plastic wrap before placing it into the freezer.

How to store an Oreo Cheesecake

You should store this cheesecake in the refrigerator. Wrap with plastic wrap. You may even want to add a sheet of plastic wrap to the actual place where the cheesecake was sliced. Cheesecake will last for up to a week in the fridge, but the Oreo crumbles will begin to soften after about 48 hours.

Does Oreo Cheesecake freeze well?
