Ingredients
 
 

Oreo Crust

Cheesecake Filling

  • 300 grams heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 680 grams full-fat cream cheese room temperature
  • 150 grams granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 62 grams sour cream room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon red gel food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Oreo Crust

  • Place the Oreos in a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse to a fine crumb.
    32 Oreo cookies
  • Mix crushed cookies and melted butter together in a large bowl. Then tightly press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan with the bottom of a measuring cup. Chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
    5 tablespoons salted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • Whip cold heavy cream and cornstarch into stiff peaks on medium-high speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, 3-5 minutes. Set the whipped cream aside.
    300 grams heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • With a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
    680 grams full-fat cream cheese, 150 grams granulated sugar
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add powdered sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and vinegar. Beat on medium-high speed until smooth with no lumps.
    2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 62 grams sour cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Fold whipped cream into cheesecake filling with a rubber spatula. Fold gently to not deflate the whipped cream.
  • Scoop half of the batter into a separate bowl. Sift in the cocoa powder and add food coloring. Fold until evenly combined.
    2 tablespoons cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon red gel food coloring
  • Scoop the cheesecake batter on top of the crust, alternating between white and red. Swirl with a butter knife or skewer for a marbled effect. Smooth out the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, but don't let it touch the surface. Chill in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight to set.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and carefully release the sides of the springform pan. Transfer the cheesecake to a cake stand or serving platter.
  • Top the cheesecake with homemade whipped cream, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

Use cold heavy cream because it whips up better. You can also chill the bowl and mixer attachments before whipping.
Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese so it mixes well with the other ingredients. Cold cream cheese makes the texture lumpy.
Storage: Cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If in the springform pan, wrap the whole pan. For slices, store in an airtight container. The cheesecake stays fresh in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Freezing: Wrap the whole cheesecake or slices in plastic wrap, then in a layer of foil. Place slices in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
