tips to make The Best Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake

• Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the cream cheese.
• Don’t overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to avoid a dense cheesecake.
• If you want a stronger red color, feel free to add a bit more food coloring.
• Use a water bath when baking for an even creamier cheesecake.

variation

You can create a cookies-and-cream version by adding crushed Oreos directly into the cheesecake batter. For a lighter option, consider making a lighter cream cheese blend by using reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream.

FAQs

Can I use a regular cake pan instead of a springform pan?
Yes, but it may be harder to remove the cheesecake from a regular pan. Make sure to line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.

What if I don’t have buttermilk?
You can make your own buttermilk by mixing 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and letting it sit for a few minutes.

How do I know when the cheesecake is done?
The cheesecake should be set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. It will continue to firm up as it cools.
