Cheesecake is a forever-favorite dessert, and Oreos are our favorite cookie, so you can only imagine how deadly this combination is for us. Oreos are involved in every component here: the crust, the cheesecake, and the topping. This is a must-make for the Oreo lover in your life (birthday cakes are so overrated).
A couple of tips: Folding Oreos into the batter turns it a speckly gray color; if you want the cheesecake to be a more classic color, coarsely chop the Oreos and gently fold in (the finer the crumb, the darker the batter will turn). We went for coarsely chopped here, but you do you.
Wondering why we’re including flour? Adding just a couple tablespoons of flour to the batter will ensure it holds together. Finally, you can totally skip a water bath for this — you’re decorating the top, so even if it cracks it’ll just be our little secret.
