Ingredients
32 Oreos (the whole cookie, filling included)
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 cup cherry pie filling
8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
1 cup cherry pie filling
Optional: Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Add the melted butter and pulse until incorporated. Press into the pan and freeze.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa powder for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the sour cream and beat until well combined. Gently fold in cherry pie filling and whipped topping.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Transfer the filling to the chilled Oreo crust and spread evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight preferred).
- Serve: Before serving, pipe whipped cream around the edges and spoon cherry pie filling in the center. Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and enjoy!
