Oreo cheesecake is a type of dessert that combines the flavors of traditional cheesecake with the rich, chocolatey taste of Oreos. It typically consists of a chocolate cookie crumb crust that is filled with a creamy cheesecake mixture that contains crushed Oreo cookies. Some variations also include a layer of chocolate ganache or whipped cream on top, and additional Oreo cookies can be used to garnish the cheesecake.
