Since Thanksgiving is around the corner and I’m not a big fan of pumpkin, I decided to put my favorite cookie and some pumpkin together to make Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecake! I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and the taste of the cheesecake, I hope you will too! What’s your favorite cookie?
Do you like Oreos? Well, I love Oreos! It is a cookie I can eat any time of the day including breakfast. I don’t know why, but I have always enjoyed having four Oreos and a cup full of soy milk.
Tips and Tricks for Making This Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe:
- For a more festive look, top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
- If you do not have crushed Oreos on hand, you can crush the whole Oreos and use a food processor.
- When you can, always use a bain-marie or water bath when baking this Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe. It helps in making the cheesecake have a soft and creamy texture because it is the steam which makes the texture of the cheesecake softer after baking.
