Ingredients:
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
For the Oreo Cookie Layer:
- 24 Oreo cookies
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 10 Oreo cookies, chopped
For the Topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 6 Oreo cookies, crushed
Directions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent any leaks.
- Brownie Layer: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even layer.
- Oreo Cookie Layer: Place the Oreo cookies on top of the brownie batter in a single layer, covering the surface evenly.
- Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until fully combined, then fold in the chopped Oreo cookies. Pour the cheesecake batter over the Oreo cookies in the pan.
- Bake in Water Bath: Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This water bath helps ensure even baking and prevents cracking.
- Bake and Cool: Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door closed for 1 hour.
- Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
- Prepare Topping: Before serving, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake and sprinkle with crushed Oreo cookies for an extra touch of indulgence.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into decadent portions and savor every bite of this irresistible Oreo Brookie Cheesecake!
