This Red Velvet Cheesecake Poke Cake with an Oreo Crust is a delicious treat for Valentine’s Day. It’s rich in color and rich in flavor. The Red Velvet is combined with a cream cheese filling and layered on an Oreo crust for more rich flavors, then topped with Cool Whip. Everything you love in a dessert combined all in to one!
Red Velvet is one of my favorite cakes, so much that I look forward to making it so I can lick the bowl and the batter right off the beaters! I’m not sure which I like the most, the batter or the cake!
Now, I know what you are probably thinking….I have never had a cake with a crust on the bottom. I have to tell you, you are in for a real treat!
This recipe is definitely over the top.
Along with an Oreo crust, there is a rich and creamy cream cheese filling in the middle. And if that’s not enough, it’s topped off with Cool Whip.
To make a Poke Cake, simply poke holes in the top of the cake using the end of a wooden spoon, then fill the holes with the cream cheese filling.
Now, get in the kitchen and try it!
