Ingredients
For the Oreo Crust
- 8 Oreo cookies, filling included
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 100 grams cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 ml whipping cream, very cold
- 2–4 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped or finely crushed (for mixing into the filling)
For Topping
- Whole Oreo cookies or crushed Oreos, as desired
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oreo Crust
Place the Oreo cookies in a mixing bowl and crush them until very fine. You can use a food processor or a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs resemble damp sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, making sure the base is even and compact. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
2. Whip the Cream
Pour the cold whipping cream into a clean bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it doubles in volume and forms soft, airy peaks. This step gives the cheesecake its light texture, so make sure the cream is well chilled before starting.
3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy. There should be no lumps.
4. Combine the Filling
Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Work slowly to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
Add the chopped or crushed Oreo cookies and fold until evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Cheesecake
Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spoon the cheesecake filling over the base. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Decorate with whole Oreo cookies or additional crushed cookies, depending on your preference.
6. Chill and Set
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set. For best results, chill overnight.
