If you’ve ever been to The Cheesecake Factory, you know their Oreo Cheesecake is a dessert dream come true. Rich, creamy, and loaded with everyone’s favorite chocolate sandwich cookies, this indulgent treat has become a fan favorite for good reason. The best part? You can recreate this iconic dessert at home with simple ingredients, turning any occasion into a celebration.
The magic of Oreo Cheesecake comes from its irresistible layers. It starts with a buttery Oreo cookie crust that sets the tone for decadence. The cheesecake filling is velvety and smooth, made with cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream for that signature tangy richness. Crushed Oreo cookies are folded right into the batter, adding texture and chocolatey bursts in every bite. Topped with even more cookies or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, this cheesecake is a showstopper for birthdays, holidays, or dinner parties.
Recreating this dessert at home is easier than it seems. While cheesecakes have a reputation for being tricky, this one is very forgiving thanks to the cookies, which add both flavor and fun. The key is to use room-temperature ingredients and bake it slowly, often in a water bath, to get that perfect, creamy consistency without cracks. Once chilled, the cheesecake sets beautifully, making it easy to slice and serve.
This copycat recipe is more than just a dessert, it’s a nostalgic bite of comfort that reminds you of special meals out and family celebrations. It’s also versatile: you can customize it with a whipped cream topping, chocolate ganache drizzle, or even a mix of other cookies for a twist on the classic.
Bringing Cheesecake Factory’s Oreo Cheesecake into your own kitchen lets you enjoy the same rich flavors without leaving the house. Whether you’re an experienced baker or just starting out, this cheesecake is worth every minute of effort. The combination of creamy cheesecake, crunchy cookies, and a buttery crust is pure perfection. One slice will have you hooked, and ready for seconds.
We recommend trying a healthier version of cheesecake or vegan cheesecake.

Can you replace the cream cheese with ricotta? I’m curious.
I don’t think ricotta will work the same. It’s too grainy compared to cream cheese. Stick with the recipe!
Sure, try it! Ricotta gives a nice flavor, might be a little different but could be yummy!
Really easy to make! I made it for my birthday and everyone loved it. Happy cake!
Mine didn’t turn out like the picture. What am I doing wrong? 😭
Oreo cheesecake = life ❤️
Oh man, this cheesecake is addicting! Can’t stop eating it!
This recipe is amazing! Tastes just like the one from the restaurant.
Is it really necessary to add so many eggs? I think it could be done with less.
But like, what if you just use 1 or 2 eggs? Can it really still be good?
I think the eggs are necessary for the texture! Cheesecake needs that richness.
I tried this and it was too sweet for my taste. I think next time I’ll cut down on the sugar.
Omg, this is the best cheesecake I’ve ever made!! I added some whipped cream on top, yummy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
YUMMMM
Omg, this is the best cheesecake ever! I can’t stop eating it.
Absolutely delicious! Tastes just like the real deal from Cheesecake Factory. My family loved it! 5 stars!
Isn’t there already a recipe for this? Why copy it? 🙄
I followed the recipe exactly but my cake cracked. What did I do wrong? Help! 2 stars.
You don’t need that many eggs. I only used 2 and it was fine.
Mine didn’t set right. I must have done something wrong. Sad.
Super easy to follow! Even I could make it (and I’m not a baker).
Delicious! Tastes just like the real thing! My family loved it.
Who needs Cheesecake Factory? This is way better! 🎉
I used low-fat cream cheese, was still super good! 👌 Just be careful about the eggs at room temp.
When I baked it, the edges burnt but the middle was gooey. Should I lower the temp? 3.
This was way too sweet for me. I think next time I’ll reduce the sugar.
This cheesecake is just okay. I expected more from the recipe.
I don’t have a springform pan, can I just use a regular one? Not sure if it’ll work.
This is easy to make. Just mix and bake! But I don’t understand why you gotta refrigerate it. 4 stars.
It was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. Maybe less sugar next time? 3 stars.
