- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 1 cup heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks
- 1/2 cup red velvet cake crumbs
- 1/4 cup red raspberry or strawberry sauce
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool.
Step 2: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Then, add the heavy cream and mix in the eggs one at a time. Pour this mixture over the cooled Oreo crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes and let it cool completely.
Step 3: In a new bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add one egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring, mixing well. Then, alternately mix in the dry ingredients and buttermilk until everything is combined. Pour this layer over the cheesecake layer and bake for another 20-25 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Step 4: Spread the whipped cream over the top, sprinkle it with red velvet crumbs, drizzle with strawberry or raspberry sauce, and decorate with Oreos.
