Cream Cheese Topping – 4 ounces cream cheese – ⅓ cup granulated sugar – ½ teaspoon vanilla extract – ⅛ teaspoon salt – 1 cup heavy cream

Timing

Total Time: Approximately 8 hours – Preparation: 30 minutes – Baking: 60 minutes – Cooling: 6+ hours (overnight recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Oreo Crust

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
3. Make the Crust: Combine Oreo crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan. Freeze while preparing the filling.

Making the Cheesecake Filling

4. Blend the Cheese: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
5. Mix Ingredients: Add sugar and continue mixing. Then incorporate milk, vinegar, vanilla extract, sour cream, and cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly.
6. Add Eggs and Dye: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. On the last egg yolk, add food dye until the desired red hue is achieved.

Baking the Cheesecake

7. Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling over the crust. Bake for 60 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
8. Cool Gradually: Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside for another hour. This gentle cooling helps prevent cracks. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.

Preparing the Cream Cheese Topping

9. Mix the Topping: Beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and salt, mixing again.
10. Fold in Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.

Final Touch

11. Decorate and Serve: Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to decorate the chilled cheesecake. Slice and enjoy!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overmixing the Batter: This can incorporate too much air, causing cracks.
• Skipping the Water Bath: Prevent cracks by baking with a water bath for even cooking.
• Rushing the Cooling Process: Gradual cooling helps set the cheesecake properly.

FAQs

1. Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time? Yes, it’s actually better if you do! Prepare it the day before serving to allow flavors to meld.

2. What if I don’t have a springform pan? You can use a regular cake pan, but lining it thoroughly with parchment paper is crucial for easy removal.

3. Can I skip the red food dye? Certainly! It won’t affect the flavor, but you’ll miss out on the iconic red hue.

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare a springform pan with parchment paper on the bottom and around the edges of the pan.
3. Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Use a fork to blend until combined and the texture is slightly crumbly.
4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared springform pan and press into an even layer in the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan. Place in the freezer while making the cream cheese filling.
5. In a large mixing bowl blend the cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
6. Add the sugar and blend again until combined.
7. Mix in the milk, vinegar, vanilla extract, sour cream, and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined. Scrap the sides of the bowl if needed.
8. Add in each egg, one at a time, blending between each addition. On the last egg yolk, add the food dye, using a generous amount depending on the vibrancy of your food dye of choice.
9. Remove the Oreo crust from the freezer and pour the red velvet mixture into the springform pan.
10. Slightly shake/jiggle the pan to even out the filling and then bake for 60 minutes.
11. The cheesecake will still be slightly jiggly in the center when done. Turn the oven off and let the cheesecake stay in the warm oven for another hour to finish cooking.
12. Remove from the oven and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
13. When ready to serve, make the cream cheese topping.
14. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Blend until smooth.
15. Then add the vanilla and salt. Mix once more until combined.
16. In a separate, smaller bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
17. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and no streaks are left.

19. Create 6-8 swirls on top of the cheesecake to decorate as desired. Cut and serve.
