You’ll Need:
Cheesecake Moat-this thing is AWESOME!!!
9 inch springform pan – I love Fat Diddios!
Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
Ingredients
Crust
- 25 Oreos
- 5 T. melted butter
Cheesecake
- 24 ounces soft cream cheese
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 ¼ cups mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Crust
- Combine crumbs and butter,
- Press firmly into a 9 inch springform pan. Set aside.
Cheesecake
- Beat cream cheese until fluffy.
- Add sweetened condensed milk until combined.
- Add 1 egg at a time to combine.
- Add vanilla.
- Fold in half the chocolate chips.
- Pour on top of the oreo crust.
- Sprinkle the rest of the chips on top. (Reserve a few for when the cake comes out of the oven, if desired.)
- Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes until barely wobbly. I baked mine in a cheesecake moat. If you do not have one, use a water bath. Do this by wrapping the bottom and sides of pan tightly in foil. Place the pan in a large roasting pan and add some hot water just to go 1 inch up the sides of the cheesecake pan. This helps the cake evenly bake.
- Turn off oven and let cool 40 minutes in oven.
- Remove and cool to room temo.
- Run sharp knife around edges.
- Chill overnight and then remove sides of pan.

This cheesecake was delicious and so easy to make! I took it to an office barbeque and it was gone in no time. The only thing I did different was take the remaining Oreos, cut them in half, and line the top, outer edge of the cake. I did this after melting the leftover chocolate chips and drizzling it over the entire top of the cake. Everyone thought it was store bought! 🙂

What can you switch sweetened condensed milk with?

Hmmm, I don’t think anything.

I have a question about the Oreos. Do I scrap the filling out of the Oreos first ? I’ve read so many recipes to find out. I’m dying to make this cheesecake it will be my second one. The first was a plain one that was a spectacular hit. I have had everything ready to go On the counter fir 4 days bus and I’m not sure about the Oreos
Nelly says
Hey Lisa, I have made a recipe similar to this and I personally scrape the cream out but I don’t think you have to.
Robin says
LIsa, I have been making this recipe for Yaz no do not scrape the cream if you do not want to use Oreos you can also use chocolate wafer cookies and crush them
