Ingredients
- 10–12 vanilla Oreo cookies (with filling), plus extra for topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 100 grams cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 ml cold whipping cream
Instructions
1. Make the Oreo Crust:
- Place 8 Oreo cookies (with filling) in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Crush them finely using a rolling pin or food processor until they resemble coarse sand.
- Add the melted butter and stir until evenly combined—you should get a wet, sandy texture.
- Transfer the mixture to the bottom of a springform pan. Press it down firmly using a spatula or the back of a spoon to form an even base.
- Set aside.
2. Whip the Cream:
- In a separate bowl, pour in the cold whipping cream.
- Beat with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes or until it doubles in volume and forms soft peaks.
Tip: Cold cream whips faster and holds shape better.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In another mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Beat briefly until well combined and smooth.
4. Add Oreo Crumbles:
- Crush or break a few additional Oreo cookies into small bits (as fine or chunky as you like).
- Fold these into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula.
5. Assemble and Chill:
- Spoon the cream cheese filling over the prepared Oreo crust in the springform pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Decorate with whole Oreo cookies or crushed cookies on top.
6. Refrigerate:
- Place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set properly.
- Slice and serve chilled!
