Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs with melted butter until you achieve a damp sand-like texture. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes until slightly firm, then set aside to cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare the red velvet cake batter, either from scratch or using a boxed mix for convenience. Pour the batter evenly over the cooled Oreo crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely before adding the cheesecake layer.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, blending after each addition, and then mix in sour cream until the cheesecake filling is luxurious and well combined.
  4. Gently pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled red velvet layer in the springform pan. Prepare a water bath by placing the pan in a larger dish filled with hot water. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50–60 minutes or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Once the cheesecake is chilled, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Mix in red gel food coloring until you achieve a rich, glossy color. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly but not set, then carefully drip it over the edges of the cheesecake, creating beautiful drips for a stunning visual.
  6. To finish your decadent Oreo Red Velvet Cheesecake, frost the top with whipped topping or buttercream, spreading it evenly. Garnish generously with whole Oreos for a delightful crunch and an eye-catching presentation. Slice the cake carefully, serve chilled, and watch your loved ones' faces light up with delight!
