How to prepare Yellow Velvet Oreo Cheesecake

Ingredients:

200 g Oreo cookies (crushed) 🍪
100 g melted butter 🧈
500 g cream cheese 🧀
3/4 cup granulated sugar 🍚
1 cup heavy cream (cold) 🥛
2 tablespoons cornstarch 🌽
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice 🍋
1/2 cup milk 🥛
A few drops yellow food coloring 💛
Whipped cream (for topping) 🍦
Crushed Oreos (for topping) 🍪

Instructions:

Prepare the crust. In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix well until the cookies are fully coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a solid base. Let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Make the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. 🥄 Add the cornstarch, vanilla extract, and vinegar (or lemon juice) while mixing well.
Add the eggs and milk. Gradually add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Then, pour in the cold heavy cream and milk. Mix until smooth. 🥛 Add a few drops of yellow food coloring and stir until you achieve your desired shade.
Bake the cheesecake. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Bake it in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. The edges should set while the center remains slightly jiggly.
Cool the cheesecake. Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for another hour to prevent cracking. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve and enjoy! When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and crushed Oreos. Enjoy your Yellow Velvet Oreo Cheesecake! 🎉
