Red Velvet Cheesecake

Teresa Ambra

Red Velvet Cheesecake is a heavenly cheesecake! It’s rich, decadent, and oh, so chocolaty. This Red Velvet Cheesecake is explosive with a deep, red crimson color, a beautiful, elegant presentation, and on top of that this recipe makes 20 servings! It’s great for holiday parties, Valentine’s Day, or special occasions like anniversaries or birthdays.

Everyone loves cheesecake and here’s a spectacular version just in time for Valentine’s Day. It has a luscious cookie crust made from Oreos (minus the cream filling), almonds, and chocolate chips. The cream cheese filling includes a heap of semi-sweet  chocolate. I topped it with chocolate curls and strawberries. What’s not to love?

I saw this recipe in our local Christmas flyer for H-E-B grocery stores in Texas in 2011. Several of their vendors had provided recipes and this luscious looking cheesecake was inspired from one by Chobani Kitchens. I wanted to make this in 2011 but I had carpal tunnel surgery in both hands that November so I wasn’t able to do much baking beyond Thanksgiving until after the holidays.

It’s been over a year since I’ve wanted to bake this fantastic-looking recipe. I dedicate this recipe to my daughter-in-law, Candice, who loves Red Velvet Cake and Red Velvet desserts. I was hoping to make it for her during our family vacation together in July but it just didn’t work out. So here’s her virtual Red Velvet Cheesecake! I hope you, along with her, will enjoy this tremendous recipe.

The crust is spectacular even though it is quite involved. The crust calls for chocolate wafer cookies which I couldn’t find anywhere so I bought Oreos and scraped off the cream filling. These cookie crumbs without the cream filling made a great crust when all the other ingredients were added to them.

The second time I made this recipe I changed it up significantly from the original version. I added additional sugar, substituted heavy whipping cream for the buttermilk and used sour cream instead of Greek yogurt. I found the cheesecake better tasting and had a better texture than the original version.

If you’re looking for a delicious Valentine’s Day dessert or a scrumptious cheesecake dessert for any other special occasion, consider this Red Velvet Cheesecake recipe as a great option. It does take a good bit of time to prepare, but it’s worth it. Bon Appetit!

When I initially posted this recipe in January 2013, my pictures were okay, but they were taken with an iPhone so they were not as clear as I would have liked. I recently remade this recipe (February 2017) for our Super Bowl party along with Mississippi Mud Pie, Loaded Baked Potato Soup and a Secret Chili Recipe. Everything turned out well, but I have to admit the cheesecake was excellent. I do have one recommendation, however. This cheesecake needs to bake about 1 1/2 hours to be done enough to take out of the oven. It may still be a little jiggly in the middle but it will taste fine once it’s cooled and refrigerated.

While this dessert is a little more high maintenance than some desserts, it’s so worth it. Every bite will have you drooling. No kidding. Red Velvet Cheesecake is such a superb dessert for Valentine’s Day. I hope you give it a try.

Here’s what I did.

To make the crust: Scrape off the cream filling in your Oreo cookies and discard.

Place Oreos (without the cream filling), chopped almonds, chocolate chips and brown sugar in a food processor. (I used my Vitamix). Process until smooth.

Melt butter. Add crushed Oreos filling that has been processed in your food processor. Stir all the ingredients together.

Spray a 10 x 13″ spring form pan with cooking spray. Press the crust ingredients all the way up the sides leaving a 1/2 inch border around the top. I found it easier to work with my hands rather than a fork.

Melt the chocolate over low heat. Add a stick of butter to the chocolate and melt together. After the sauce has completely melted, set it aside to cool completely.

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

  • For the crust: Process chocolate wafer cookies (oreos), (Minus the cream filling), chocolate chips, almonds, and brown sugar in a food processor until well combined.
  • Place mixture in mixing bowl and add ½ cup melted butter.
  • Stir to combine.
  • If your food processor isn’t heavy duty you can crush the cookies with a rolling pin, and finely dice almonds and chocolate chips to get the same consistency.
  • Press crumbs onto the bottom and sides of a 10x13 spring form pan, leaving a ½ inch space at the top of the pan.
  • Set aside.
  • For the filling: In a saucepan, melt milk chocolate and ½ cup butter over low heat.
  • Transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
  • Soften cream cheese.
  • Add sour cream, granulated sugar, heavy whipping cream, red food coloring, and cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Beat with an electric mixer until combined.
  • Add eggs and egg yolks and mix until combined.
  • Pour filling into crust.
  • Place spring form pan on a shallow baking pan.

  • Remove sides of pan, cool for 1 hour more.
  • Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
  • Garnish with chocolate curls and strawberries.
  • When serving, add chocolate syrup over individual servings, if desired.

Notes

NOTE: My cheesecake took 1 1/2 hours to bake to the desired consistency. Check your oven; some ovens may take almost 2 hours to cook until done, others may cook the cheesecake faster.
 
NOTE: Be careful that your plastic wrap or foil does not touch the top of the cheesecake when covering or it will pull off the finish when you remove it.

    Hi Teresa, I tried this recipe and it was as hot mess. It was my first time ever making a cheesecake. I am hoping you can give me some

    advice. Im going to try again. I would love to talk with you. Vicky

    1. Teresa

      April 2, 2018 at 3:01 pm

      Well, Vicky, the biggest thing is making sure you cook it long enough. My upper oven runs slow and my bottom oven runs fast. I usually have to bake this cheesecake a full 1 hour 30 minutes before it’s totally done. Next time try baking it longer and see if that works better for you. It’s such a delicious recipe, but I certainly get that it can be a little high maintenance. How long did you bake yours? If you took it out right at an hour it probably came out in clumps, or didn’t set up enough when cooling. Is that what happened?

    You mentionedin the recipe that you placed the cheesecake in a shallow baking pan when placing it in the oven. Did you add some water into the baking pan?

    1. Teresa

      June 17, 2017 at 9:14 am

      Hi Tabitha. No I didn’t fill the pan with water. I basically used it to catch spills and drips.
