Every holiday gathering I’ve ever attended has at least one cheesecake for sharing. Nothing beats a slice of tall, rich, and dense New York cheesecake! While this Oreo cheesecake tart is by no means healthy or light, it does provide the same richness as a standard cheesecake but on a smaller scale. Lighter Cheesecake Option By using a shallow tart shell, you are able to greatly reduce the amount of cream cheese in the recipe! Best of all, the crust to filling ratio is much better. You get more crust per bite. A standard 9-inch cheesecake recipe uses at least two pounds of cream cheese and nearly half a dozen eggs. It includes melted butter and sour cream among other delicious ingredients that adds to its heavenly decadence. This shallow cheesecake only uses one pound of cream cheese, one egg, and half a cup of sour cream. That’s where any of hint of lightness ends and the richness begins. Add a generous amount of chopped Oreos into the mix! Cheesecake Tart Components Oreo Graham Cracker Crust Oreo Cheesecake Filling Whipped Cream Topping CRUST: Blend together graham cracker, Oreo cookies, cocoa powder, and salt in the food processor. Stir in butter to moisten crumbs. Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. FILLING: Use an electric hand mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment) to beat together cream, sour cream, and sugar. Follow with egg, salt, vanilla, and a touch of heavy cream. Fold in Oreo cookies. Spread into crust and bake for about 30 minutes. TOPPING: Let the cheesecake tart cool in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Then, spread fresh whipped cream over the tart and garnish with all the chopped Oreos your heart desires! Recommended Tart Pan Use this 9.5-inch round tart pan with removable bottom. This recipe also works with a 14-inch rectangular loose bottom tart pan. The same tart pan can used to make these recipes: easy pumpkin tart, pear frangipane tart, and fig tart.

Storage and Leftovers Cheesecake may be baked ahead of time, up to two days before serving. Do not add whipped cream topping until ready to serve.

Melissa says: October 29, 2020 This recipe was perfection. I love the proportions. The mixture of Oreo and Graham crackers was great because it wasn’t overly sweet. Will definitely make this again! Reply
