Can I replace the whipped cream and strawberry topping?
Simply leave out this topping. The strawberries can easily be replaced with any type of red fruit. Instead of whipped cream, you could try Italian meringue.
This Oreo cheesecake is always a crowd-pleaser – especially at kids’ parties and birthday celebrations! It’s creamy, rich, and loaded with Oreo flavor, making it a hit with both children and adults alike.
Best of all? The recipe is surprisingly easy to follow, so even if you’re not an experienced baker, you can still create this decadent dessert with confidence.
Topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, it looks festive and tastes even better. Want to mix things up? Feel free to swap in other red fruits like raspberries or red currants for a burst of fresh flavor.
Here are a few key ingredients you’ll need. Be sure to check the full recipe card for exact quantities, and bring everything to room temperature before starting:
Crush the Oreos and combine them with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of your springform pan to form a firm base.
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese and sugar until smooth using a stand mixer or hand mixer. Then add the sour cream, heavy cream, and eggs one at a time. Once well combined, fold in the flour and additional crushed Oreos.
Pour the batter into your crust-lined pan. Bake at 150°C/300℉ for about 60 minutes. The cheesecake should be slightly wobbly in the center but set around the edges. Turn off the oven and let it cool inside with the door ajar. Then chill it in the refrigerator overnight, covered.
Once the cheesecake has chilled and set, decorate the top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. For an extra indulgent touch, you can add chocolate ganache, white chocolate drizzle, or whole Oreos.
The cheesecake will keep for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Let it cool completely before covering and refrigerating.
You can freeze the cheesecake, just be sure to add toppings after thawing. Slice it before freezing, wrap each piece in plastic wrap, and then place in an airtight freezer bag. Cheesecake (slices) can be frozen for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw in the fridge overnight.
Oreos aren’t just for snacking – they’re one of my favorite ingredients for baking, too! From quick no-bake treats to showstopping desserts, they’re endlessly versatile. Here are a few more of my go-to Oreo creations:

You can, but the cheesecake may not be as rich or creamy. For best results, stick with full-fat cream cheese.
No, this recipe works without a water bath. While some bakers swear by it for avoiding cracks, this cheesecake still turns out beautifully with a slightly jiggly center and firm edges. Just be sure to let it cool gradually.
Cracks can happen if the batter is overmixed, the oven temperature fluctuates, or the cheesecake cools too quickly. Don’t worry – toppings like whipped cream or ganache will easily cover up any imperfections! Make sure to check my post on making the perfect cheesecake.
Yes. Simply use gluten-free chocolate (sandwich) cookies instead of Oreos and ensure all other ingredients (like the flour) are gluten-free.
