• Parchment paper
• Cooling rack

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Oreo Cheesecake Layer

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
4. Gently fold in the crushed Oreos.
5. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
7. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Cake Layers

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
4. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. (The batter will be thin—this is normal!)
5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Cookies and Cream Frosting

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and crushed Oreos. Mix until well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

1. Place one chocolate cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top.
2. Carefully place the chilled Oreo cheesecake layer on top.
3. Add another thin layer of frosting over the cheesecake.
4. Place the second chocolate cake layer on top.
5. Frost the entire cake with the cookies and cream frosting, smoothing the edges.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

• Decorate with whole Oreos on top and sprinkle additional crushed Oreos around the edges.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips and Variations

• For a crunchier texture, mix in some larger Oreo chunks into the frosting.
• Make it extra chocolatey by drizzling melted chocolate over the top before serving.
• Want a shortcut? Use a boxed chocolate cake mix instead of making the cake from scratch.
• For a no-bake version, use an Oreo crust instead of chocolate cake layers and set it in the fridge.
• Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free Oreos and a gluten-free chocolate cake recipe.

Serving Suggestions

This cake is best served chilled. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate ganache for an extra indulgent touch. Serve each slice with a glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee to balance out the sweetness.

Perfect Drink Pairings

• Milk: The classic pairing—nothing beats Oreos and milk!
• Espresso or Cappuccino: The bitterness of coffee complements the sweetness of the cake.
• Cookies and Cream Milkshake: Go all out and pair this cake with an Oreo milkshake.
• Baileys Irish Cream: A splash of this in your coffee enhances the cookies and cream flavors.

Storage and Reheating

• Refrigeration: Store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
• Reheating: No need to reheat—this cake is best enjoyed cold!
