How to make Oreo & Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake?

For cheesecake crust:

1. We’re gonna be doing some pulsing in the food processor. If you don’t have one or you wanna like it out, just get a plastic bag and start crushing one sleeve or 12 Oreos right in there and let’s pulse it up. Don’t mind if there’s like some big pieces in there, that’s totally fine and actually good.

Pulse around 24 Oreos, but you can also use about 30, and then add half a cup or 113 grams of melted butter and mix pulse… (This looks perfect). Sometimes when you process the butter and there can be a little pool in the center, that’s fine. Just mix it in by hand with your spatula but this cannot be perfect.

2. We’ll do an optional step, It’s not a crazy person steps though because if you were ever got a cheesecake off of this springform base you know, it can be a little harrowing.

What we will do is take a little bit of parchment paper and cut it into a circle sheet and then place it onto the bottom of the springform pan. You can add a little bit of butter at the bottom just to help it stick. It’s not like you’re buttering and flowering a pan though. (Spread more towards the edges, because that’s where most of the crumbs are going).

Now pour the whole oreo crumb onto the base of the pan and press it to the bottom of the pan with help of a glass or measuring cup. Set this aside into the fridge to chill out for however long it takes you to make the butter. You just wanna firm it up a bit so it’s gonna be a bit more stable.

For cheesecake filling:

3. For the filling we need room temperature cream cheese, so if it’s freezing, you’re gonna want to have the microwave warm this up. Take it out of the foil first though. (If it’s not room temperature, you’ll have like little, little granules of cream cheese and it just won’t be as smooth as you want).

Alright, add 24 ounces or three eight-ounce packages of room temperature cream cheese, you can add in your half teaspoon of salt, and run you stand mixer. Now add one full one cup/200 grams of sugar and just give it one little scrape and let the mixer run for a minute. Now, run it on high, let it run for like a minute, two minutes. You want to have a nice cream cheese sugar combo. Now you’re just gonna run this on low and sift in three tablespoons or about like 24 grams of flour.

4. Now add in half a cup of sour cream, and mix that sour cream in there. Scrape the bowl down and you’ll see beautiful glossy homogenous peaks and that’s what we want. (If you’re really struggling with your cheesecake and it totally happens, it’s not your fault all the time). But you don’t want to mix too much air in there.

5. All right now we’ll be adding four eggs(three eggs and one yolk) at room temperature, add them in slowly, one at a time, and mix it well. Now we are gonna add a splash of vanilla. Now we’re gonna add our oreo crumb mixture. Add those in and we’re gonna fold them by hand. You need to dump all the Oreos in that, you can roughly chop or you can layer them in and mix well. We don’t want to over mix this.

Making cheesecake layer:

6. Let’s grab our crust and ready to go. Now pour batter into like three layers. So pour a third of the batter in first, spread it out just a bit. Now you can add in a sprinkling of your roughly chopped or just broken up Oreos. It’ll look nice and give you a little bit of texture and play of tastes.

This one’s easy-breezy like it’s gonna have little cracks in it but we’ll also be covering the top with a beautiful black and white chocolate ganache and it’s gonna look just beautiful. And I’ve used kind of a smaller like an eight or 8.5-inch springform pan, but if you want to go for the bigger ones, use a bigger one. Your cheesecake will just be a little bit thinner but totally delicious.

7. Pop this into the oven, onto the rack, 350F for 10 minutes, then take the temperature down to 300. Don’t open the oven, leave it closed, please. Bake it for 45 to 50 minutes until the center is wobbly but set. You’ll see some cracks, it’ll rise up. It’ll be a little bit brown on the sides just a little bit. And then you’re going to leave it in the oven for about an hour.

You can take it out, cover it and chill it overnight or chill for 4 hours minimum. Your cheesecake really needs to chill and set, that is the best way to have it nice, cuttable, it’s not going to be messy. You’ll love it. (Make it a day ahead or make it in the morning). Don’t try and rush this step.

8. When it’s chilled overnight, just run a knife along the edge to make sure that there’s no stray bits. Although you know, they are hard to find. Release that springform pan from the bottom of the cheesecake, this is the tricky part but you’re going to use your palette knife and this is where we used that parchment paper round at the bottom will show it’s magic.

Just take the paper it’ll come right off and the whole presentation will atleast look a little bit more clean, yes there will be a couple of crumbs but don’t worry about it.

9. Now it’s time for the white and dark chocolate ganache. For that white chocolate ganache, we’ll be adding in one cup of white chocolate, use a double boiler but you could also use a microwave, It’s totally up to you. So once you see the chocolate start to melt in the bottom, just move it around.

Add one-third of a cup of cream, and stir. And after a few seconds take it off the heat. The dark chocolate is way more forgiving, so in a small bowl just add in about two tablespoons of the chips, one tablespoon of cream, and zap it in the microwave at 50% power in like 30-second intervals. You don’t need a double boiler for it, but you could pop this on the double boiler if you wanted to.

10. So when ganache really sets up, you’re going to pour this onto the chilled cheesecake and spread this out. Now add a couple of dollops of dark chocolate and by using the skewer and you’re going to loop this in and out to make a nice marbleized pattern. (The key is to not over mix ’cause then it’ll muddy things up. But you can have fun with it, just trying to over mix). Hang this out in the fridge for a minute while you make that whipped cream, which you know is super quick.

11. We’ll be crowning this cake with some beautiful and easy whipped cream. So add one cup of the cold, heavy whipped cream into the bowl of your stand mixer, one-quarter cup of powdered sugar, and just a little splash of vanilla, and whip it up. Keep an eye on this. We want thicker peaks because we’re gonna be piping the whipped cream.

12. Fill your piping bag up (If you don’t want to pipe this you could just make little dollops with your spatula, but with a piping bag, it looks so much nicer).

You’re gonna pipe in a spiral as you move along and have your cake on a turntable as it makes it so much easier (a turntable is really a must if you like cake decorating). If you don’t want to do this process, regularly dollops totally work nicely as well. Make little coils and if you need to stop you can stop like for example if you didn’t make enough whipped cream.

13. You’re gonna garnish Oreo and Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake with some Oreos, but it’ll look nicer if they’re cut in half, so just chop them into halves with a sharp knife and chop. Just space them evenly apart, you don’t have to stress out about it too much.

This Oreo and Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake is actually all chilled and setup that ganache really hard and quickly. This room is like a refrigerator right now.

Tips for Oreo and Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Recipe:

• Make sure to scrape the mixer bowl, so that if any unmixed and lumpy cream cheese is left, it gets mixed well.
• You can adjust the amount of the Oreos if you want lighter looking cheesecake.
• This is the perfect make-ahead recipe. But make sure to add whipped cream at last if you want that silkier touch.
• Always use ingredients at room temperature for smooth filling, especially cream cheese as frozen one will create lumps and hence resulting in a lumpy and unmixed filling.
• Try not to open the oven as cold air is not good for cheesecake.
• Don’t sweat if your cheesecake has little bits of cracks, as it can be covered with the ganache and cream layer on the top.
• DO not overmix the filling or else it will acquire more air and will be fluffy. And at last, resulting in dreaded cracks.
• Always make sure to add eggs at last and one by one, so that while mixing it doesn’t make the filling much airy and light.
