For the Cheesecake Filling:
24 oz (3 blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened
1¼ cups powdered sugar
1½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp red food coloring (gel preferred)

For Garnish:
6–8 whole Oreo cookies
Red velvet crumbs or sprinkles (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Crust:
Crush 24 Oreos (with filling) into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix with melted butter until combined.
Press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze 15 minutes.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and mix.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into cream cheese mixture until combined.
Create Red Velvet Layers:
Divide filling into two bowls. To one bowl, add cocoa powder and red food coloring; mix until vibrant.
Spread half the plain filling over the crust. Sprinkle ¼ cup crushed Oreos. Top with half the red velvet filling. Repeat layers, ending with red velvet.
Chill & Set:
Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours (or overnight).
Garnish & Serve:
Release the springform pan. Top with whole Oreos, whipped cream, and red velvet crumbs. Slice with a hot knife for clean edges.
