Frequently Asked Questions about Oreo Cheesecake
You could most definitely make this cheesecake without a springform pan. We’ve made mini Oreo Cheesecakes using this recipe, and they were delicious.
They were made in a muffin tin, heavily spray each insert with non-stick cooking spray to insure there was no sticking.
I have never tried making it in a glass pan, but it is possible. I’d would recommend using a 13×9″ pan or cutting the recipe down 1/3 and using a 9×9 inch pan.
You could most definitely make this recipe without Oreos
Be sure your ingredients are at room temperature when cooking cheesecake. This will help the mixture be more smooth. Nobody wants a cheesecake with cream cheese chunks in it.It will also create a better texture, after cooking.
Storing and Other Tips
Fridge: Allow the Cheesecake to come down to room temperature (covering the cheesecake when it’s still warm will cause condensation and a soggy crust). Cover with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil on top and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- You will most definitely want a hand mixer, or standing mixer for this recipe.There are a lot of thick ingredients, and it will be difficult to fully combine them all, without some type of electric mixer.However, be sure not to over-mix the cheesecake mixture. When you see that the ingredients have become fully combined, turn of the mixer, to avoid over stirring your batter, which could create issues when it bakes.
- To crush your Oreos for your crust, it all depends on how you like it. I prefer larger Oreo chunks in my crust, so I crush my Oreos with a hammer in a thick ziplock bag.If you prefer your crust to be more fine, you could use a blender or food processor to crush up the Oreo’s.

Does this cheesecake need to be cooked in a water bath? Help making it know!
We make this Oreo Cheesecake as directed in the recipe.
Just put mine in the oven! This was a lot of work 😂❤️ Can’t wait to try it out tomorrow. I was short on vanilla so I’m hoping the richness of the Oreos makes up for it! Do you think it would be okay to freeze?
Cheesecake freezes well. Be sure to cover properly for to protect from freezer.
Mine in in the oven as we speak! Hoping it will taste as good as it looks! :p
Made this for my Mother’s Day dessert. Can’t wait to enjoy it! Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t have enough Oreo mixture with this recipe to go 1 1/2 inches up the side of the pan, but had 1 1/2 times as much cheesecake mixture than would fit in the pan. Comparing it to other similar recipes – is it supposed to be 5 eggs and 1 cup each of sugar and sour cream? It’s in the oven and is for a birthday so I have my fingers crossed it’s going to taste ok.
It looks delicious. But it’s been in the oven for 1 hour 20 mins and is still jiggly. It’s already starting to burn and don’t want it to get worse. Should I look for an internal temp? Cook longer? What should I do?
You can always lay some foil loosely over the top to prevent any browning. But it should be pretty good after an hour of cooking. It will thicken up more when setting up as it cools, and after being refrigerated.
Is it hot fudge or just chocolate sauce drizzled on top?
You can add either, they are both delicious!
