Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
Crust Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Filling and Topping Ingredients:
- 12–15 Oreo cookies, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and blend thoroughly with melted butter, creating a compact mixture.
- Press the cookie-butter blend firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, ensuring an even, smooth base.
- Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to set while preparing the filling.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until ultra-smooth and creamy, eliminating any lumps.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the cream cheese mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until it forms distinct, stiff peaks that hold their shape.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining the airy texture and ensuring complete integration.
- Gently fold chopped Oreo cookies into the filling, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour the Oreo-studded filling over the chilled crust, using a spatula to create a perfectly smooth surface.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow complete setting and flavor development.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with additional crushed Oreo cookies for extra crunch and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use a food processor for uniform, fine Oreo crumbs to ensure a consistent, compact crust that holds together perfectly.
- Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for 30-45 minutes to achieve a smoother, lump-free filling without overmixing.
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters beforehand to help heavy cream whip faster and reach stiffer peaks more efficiently.
- Swap regular cream cheese and heavy cream with dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream and vegan cream cheese to make the dessert suitable for lactose-intolerant guests.
