Ingredients
Homemade Cream Cheese
- 1 ltr Milk full-fat
- 2 Tbsp Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Yogurt
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Caster Sugar adjust to your sweetness preference
Oreo Crust and Filling
- 20 Oreo Cookies divided
- 2 Tbsp Butter melted
Chocolate Topping and Garnish
- 100 gm Chocolate, melted
- ¼ cup Chocolate Chips for garnish, or more
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the full-fat milk to a rolling boil. Add the vinegar to curdle the milk. This creates the base for our homemade cream cheese.
- If the milk doesn't fully curdle, add a bit more vinegar. Once curdled, line a strainer with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Pour the curdled milk into the lined strainer and let it drain for 15 minutes to remove excess whey. This step ensures a creamy texture.
- Gather the cheesecloth and gently squeeze out any remaining whey. Transfer the homemade cream cheese to a blender or food processor. Add salt, caster sugar, and plain yogurt. Blend until perfectly smooth and creamy. If the mixture appears grainy, add a touch more yogurt and blend again.
- Cover the cream cheese and refrigerate while you prepare the Oreo crust. Chilling helps it firm up and develop its flavor.
- To make the Oreo crust, crush 10-12 Oreo cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. You want fine crumbs.
- Combine the crushed Oreos with melted butter in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Line a springform pan or a round dish with parchment paper. Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Once the crust is set, remove it from the freezer. Roughly crush the remaining 8-10 Oreos and gently fold them into the chilled cream cheese filling. This adds delightful chunks of Oreo throughout the cheesecake.
- Spread the Oreo cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula or offset spatula. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles. Freeze for another hour to allow the filling to set.
- Melt the chocolate for the topping. Once the cheesecake is slightly firm, remove it from the freezer. Pour the melted chocolate over the cheesecake and spread it evenly. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Freeze for a final 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan or dish by lifting the parchment paper. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra layer of flavor and texture, fold chopped Oreos or chocolate chunks into the cheesecake filling before assembling.
- If you prefer a saltier-sweet contrast, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer just before serving.
- To create clean, café-style slices, chill the cheesecake thoroughly and use a knife dipped in hot water, wiping it clean between each cut.
- For a fun variation, swap out the Oreos for other flavored sandwich cookies (like peanut butter or mint) to customize the base and topping to your taste.
Expert Tips
- For a smoother cheesecake filling, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature and beat it until completely smooth before adding other ingredients.
- To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan and pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar to prevent sudden temperature changes that can cause cracks.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
