Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter until the crumbs are fully coated. Pour into a springform pan, pressing firmly to create an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool completely.
- Prepare your red velvet cake batter according to your recipe or a boxed mix. Pour the batter over the cooled Oreo crust and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Fold in sour cream and pour over the cooled red velvet layer.
- Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in aluminum foil. Place in a larger baking dish filled with hot water and bake at 325°F for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Cool for one hour at room temperature.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up. Prepare to add the drip topping.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Mix in red gel food coloring to achieve your desired shade. Allow to cool before drizzling over the cheesecake.
- Decorate the top with whipped topping or buttercream and garnish with whole Oreo cookies for added flavor and aesthetics.
- Carefully slice the cheesecake with a warm knife and serve each slice chilled for the best flavor experience.
