Ingredients
For the crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
For the topping (optional):
- 4–6 Oreo cookies, crushed
- Whipped cream
Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- In a medium bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until fully combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
-
Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the filling.
-
Assemble the Cheesecake
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a clean finish.
- If desired, sprinkle crushed Oreos over the top for garnish.
-
Chill the Cheesecake
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
-
Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Slice and serve chilled. Add a dollop of whipped cream and extra Oreo crumbs for a delightful finishing touch.
Notes
-
- Chilling Time: Be patient! Letting the cheesecake chill for at least 6 hours is essential for the perfect texture.
- Customize It: Swap the Oreos with your favorite cookies or add a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top for a creative twist.
- Storage: Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
