Festive and Delicious Christmas Red Velvet Cheesecake

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (crushed, about 2 cups crumbs)
  • ⅓ cup butter (melted)
  • 4 8-ounce blocks cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • ½ cup white sugar (granulated)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • red food coloring (as needed for desired shade)
  • ¼ cup Christmas sprinkles (for the filling)
  • whipped cream (for topping)
  • mini Oreos (for garnish)
  • extra Christmas sprinkles (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wrap a 9-inch springform pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent water seepage.
  2. Crush Oreo cookies finely. In a bowl, combine crumbs with melted butter and 2 tablespoons of white sugar. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. In a mixer, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add ½ cup white sugar, mixing until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and red food coloring.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture along with ¼ cup Christmas sprinkles. Pour filling over cooled crust.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Place springform pan into a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan, reaching halfway up the sides.
  7. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  9. Cool completely on a wire rack for 2-3 hours. Refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Remove springform pan sides. Top with whipped cream, mini Oreos, and extra sprinkles.
