Ingredients
For the base:
- 10–12 vanilla Oreo cookies (with filling)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For the filling:
- 250 ml chilled whipping cream
- 100 grams cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4–6 Oreo cookies (chopped or crushed, to fold into the filling)
- Whole Oreos for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
- Place the 10–12 vanilla Oreo cookies (with their filling) in a mixing bowl. Crush them into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Stir in the melted butter and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the base of a springform pan (about 6–8 inches) and smooth it flat using a spatula or the bottom of a glass.
- Chill the base in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Whip the cream:
- In a large bowl, beat the chilled whipping cream with an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks. This usually takes 4–5 minutes if the cream is properly chilled.
- Make the cheesecake filling:
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined and fluffy.
- Fold in the chopped or crushed Oreo cookies for that extra Oreo crunch throughout the filling.
- Assemble the cheesecake:
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Decorate the top with whole Oreos, crumbled cookies, or a drizzle of melted chocolate, if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set completely.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Once set, remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled. This cheesecake is rich, creamy, and packed with the beloved flavor of Oreos in every bite.
Tips & Variations
- Use chocolate Oreos instead of vanilla for a deeper cocoa flavor.
- For a firmer filling, you can gently mix in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or use a bit more cream cheese.
- Garnish with whipped cream or chocolate ganache for a decadent finish.
