Ingredients

  • 3 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Red Velvet Cake Layer:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  • 1/2 tbsp white vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tbsp red food coloring

Topping:

  • Red velvet cake crumbs

  • Whipped cream or buttercream rosettes

  • Oreo cookies

  • Optional: red glaze or melted red candy coating for drizzle


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    Crush Oreos into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter.
    Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
    Chill while preparing the cheesecake filling.

  2. Make the Cheesecake Layer:
    Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
    Add sugar, then eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
    Mix in vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
    Pour over chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50–60 minutes or until center is set. Let cool completely.

  3. Bake the Red Velvet Cake Layer:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
    Whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
    In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
    Add eggs, then food coloring, vinegar, vanilla, and buttermilk.
    Combine wet and dry ingredients, then pour into prepared pan.
    Bake for 25–30 minutes. Cool completely, then level the top if needed.

  4. Assemble:
    Place cooled red velvet cake layer on top of the cheesecake layer.
    Decorate with whipped cream or buttercream rosettes, red velvet crumbs, Oreo cookies, and optional red drizzle.
    Chill thoroughly before slicing.

  • Make cheesecake a day ahead for best texture and flavor.

  • Use a serrated knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.

  • For a deeper red, use gel food coloring.
