Raspberry Cheesecake with Oreo Crust. Simply Amazing.
You guys. The day has arrived. National Cheesecake day. . and it’s glorious. Cheesecake lovers everywhere should definitely indulge in a huge slice today (it’s ok and the calories don’t count today), or maybe even two slices.
This cheesecake happens to be the best I have ever tasted and believe me, I did not skimp on any ingredients and went full fat on everything. It’s cheesecake after all. And it is National Cheesecake Day so I went big y’all. This Raspberry cheesecake with Oreo cookie crust does have a secret ingredient, one that I have never before added, which I think made this cheesecake creamier and more luxurious. So make sure you take a look at the recipe card below.
I took a quick poll on Facebook asking if I should make a raspberry sauce, melted Nutella or a chocolate ganache and the chocolate ganache won by a landslide. No surprise there. And I’m so happy I listened. The ganache on this Raspberry Cheesecake with Oreo crust was divine! You can also dust on some powdered sugar or not. Totally up to you!
Raspberry Cheesecake with Oreo Crust for #NationalCheesecakeDay
Ingredients
For the Oreo Crust:
- 20 oreo cookies with the filling removed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
For the Cheesecake:
- 4 packages 8 ounces each cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla or raspberry extract
For the chocolate ganache:
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Raspberry topping:
- 2 packages fresh raspberries
- confectioners' sugar for dusting; optional
Instructions
For the Oreo Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Pulse the Oreo cookies and sugar in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of 9 x 3-inch springform pan with removable bottom. Bake for about 10 minutes. Cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
For the Cheesecake:
- Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the cream cheese, sugar and sour cream until well combined, for about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla (or raspberry extract) and pour into your prepared crust.
- Set the springform pan on a piece of wide heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold the foil carefully up the sides of the pan without tearing it. Set the pan in a large baking dish or roasting pan and pour in enough boiling water to reach halfway up sides of the springform pan.
- Bake for one hour at 325°F. Turn off the oven and prop the door ajar with the handle of a wooden spoon. Let cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Remove carefully from springform pan.
For the chocolate ganache:
- Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl and set aside. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until small bubbles appear on the outside edge of the cream. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Using a wire whisk, gently stir from the middle out, until all of the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow the chocolate ganache to cool slightly and then pour over the cheesecake.
For the Raspberry topping:
- Top cheesecake with fresh raspberries and dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. Enjoy!
Raspberry Cheesecake with Oreo Cookie Crust recipe adapted from Driscolls.com.
You may or may not notice the missing Oreo crust on this slice, under the tip. I am guilty as charged. It broke off when I was slicing my raspberry cheesecake with oreo crust and I promptly ate it before taking my photo. Would you have done the same thing?

Leanne says
Hi Alice
Your raspberry and chocolate is a heaven paired together. I m gonna nail this for feb 14th. I am hoping to use a heart shaped Pan if I could find one. If not what size pan round should I get for this recipe? Please let me know. I seldom bake so I hope this will be an easy one to nail for V day. Thanks so much.
hipfoodiemom says
Hi Leanne, if you can find a heart shaped pan that is also a springform pan with a removable bottom, then it should work. For this cheesecake, I suggest using a 9 x 3-inch round springform pan with a removable bottom. This is so when the cheesecake is done, you can easily release the pan, lift it up (the sides) and the cheesecake still stays in tact. I think most cheesecakes are baked in spring form pans: like this: https://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-Leakproof-Springform-Inch/dp/B000237FSA Hope this helps!
Arpita@ The Gastronomic Bong says
Omg! The cheesecake looks so delicious. Totally in love with the crust .. and those raspberries topping. . Just Wow !!

“believe me, I did not skimp on any ingredients and went full fat on everything” <– this is why I love you. You totally get me and my full-fat loving ways. Alice, I can't tell you how beautiful and perfect your cheesecake looks. That thick oreo crust (usually my favourite part!), that perfectly creamy and dense texture, that thick rich ganache (I want to drink it) and those gorgeous ruby red raspberries. Damn, you are the cheesecake queen!
hipfoodiemom says
Nancy, ah you are too kind. . thank you!!! I’m just happy I got this cheesecake out of the oven without flying cheesecake and water going everywhere! 😛
Julie says
So pretty and I love the fresh raspberries on top!
hipfoodiemom says
Thank you so much, Julie!! We need something to balance out all the chocolate and cream cheese, right? 🙂
Connie | URBAN BAKES says
This is seriously perfection right here. That ganache suits this cake so well and your photos (as always) are beautiful! Love it!

Stacy says
Now THIS is the way to cover a cheesecake with raspberries, Alice! It is absolutely stunning in every way. And to answer your question, I would definitely eat all the pieces that fall off. Baker’s privilege. 🙂
hipfoodiemom says
Thanks so much, Stacy!!!

Lora @cakeduchess says
This list of cheesecakes just keeps getting better and better the closer I look at them! Obviously, it hasn’t been close enough with yours…as I don’t have a slice in front of me. LOVE the ganache and the stunning berries nestled dreamily on top. Perfect, Alice!

Thanks so much, Lora!!! Cheesecake day was like the best day ever!!

Terri/LoveandConfections says
This cheesecake looks heavenly! I love the raspberry and chocolate ganache top – makes it look so elegant!
Chichi says
This cheesecake looks so so amazing. Pinning
Tracy says
I am making this for my MIL for her birthday. She loves the Nutella Raspberry dessert pizza at our favorite pizza place. This looks like the perfect substitute. If i am making this a day in advance, should i put the ganache and raspberries on that same day, or do those the day of?
Thanks!
Misty says
I have made this 3 times since February and I’m adding it to the shopping list for this weekend!!!! So good!!! I used the raspberry extract.
hipfoodiemom says
Hi Misty!!! Thank you so much for this comment!!! you made my day! Cheers!
T says
I made this cake and it was divine! My boyfriend thought it was too chocolatey and would have preferred a raspberry glaze. I think that would have been fresher and more summery. But nothing wrong with a double dose of chocolate! Thanks for an awesome but simple recipe.
hipfoodiemom says
Hi there! Thanks for sharing!!! Agreed, this would be divine with a fresh raspberry sauce! I was going for decadent with the chocolate ganache .. but yes, again, a fresh raspberry sauce would be wonderful!!! 🙂
Felicia says
I’ve been making this for my husband birthdays because he loves cheesecake. I made it exactly as you did except I added a layer of raspberry sauce on top of the chocolate ganache. It turned out delicious!
hipfoodiemom says
Hi Felicia, sounds delicious!!! Thank you for sharing and happy birthday to your husband! 🙂
Leanne says

hipfoodiemom says

Jill Roberts @ WellnessGeeky says
Looks yummy! Definitely I will prep this raspberry cheesecake on the weekend for my family. I’m also gonna pin this post on my Pinterest board my followers will love it. Thanks for sharing Alice!
Melanie says
This looks delicious, but if you’re going to remove the filling from the Oreos, why not just use chocolate wafers?
hipfoodiemom says
Hi Melanie! you can leave in the filling or remove OR just buy chocolate wafers!
Veronica says
