Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecake

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Prepare the Oreo Crust:

In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse until combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Make the Red Velvet Cheesecake Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the sour cream, buttermilk, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and red food coloring until smooth and evenly combined.
Layer the Cheesecake:

Pour half of the red velvet cheesecake batter over the prepared Oreo crust in the springform pan.
Sprinkle the coarsely chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining red velvet cheesecake batter over the Oreo layer, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the Cheesecake:

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool and Chill:

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
Decorate the Cheesecake:

Remove the chilled cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate.
Pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting over the top of the cheesecake as desired.
