Who loves cheesecake? Cheesecake is a favorite in our house & one of the most requested recipes out of everything I make. Why wouldn’t it be? I mean, there is something to be said about a nice thick slice of cheesecake that satisfies every sweet-tooth craving one could possibly have. Most people head out to a restaurant for just one slice. But you know the markup on desserts when you dine out is like 35%? My friends, I’m here to tell you that you CAN make this AMAZING Oreo New York Cheesecake at home & it is SO MUCH BETTER than anything you can buy.

Honestly, I’m not kidding. I know people tend to get intimidated by a recipe like this. But I’m here to break it all down for you so you can have all this deliciousness any time you want.

But I have worked years to simplify the process so it is quick & easy. I promise, it turns out perfect every single time. It is AH-MAZ-ING!

Now- you don’t have to make this with Oreo cookies. I just happened to be making an Oreo cookie crust with this New York Cheesecake, so I decided it would be pretty awesome if I crumbled up some of those cookies & added them to the cake itself. I’m so very glad I did. But you can also leave out the Oreos & just add some chocolate sauce or fresh fruit too. It all would be delicious.
What are you waiting for? This will be the best cheesecake you’ll ever eat!

Oh my goodness! That looks so amazing. I just LOVE cheesecake and have been thinking it’s time I learned how to make the “real” stuff at home. I’m quite famous for no-bake cheesecakes but they just don’t have the same taste and texture. Pinned.

Best New York Cheesecake I have made. Moist and delicious but with that slight crumble texture that defines the NY Cheesecake. Thanks for the recipe. Perfect.
