Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Oreo Crust
- Crush the Oreos in a food processor until they reach a fine crumb texture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring even coverage.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Assemble the Cheesecake
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the Oreo crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Finish by garnishing with crushed Oreo pieces on top.
Chill and Serve
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once chilled and set, remove from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier blending. Take your time with the chilling process; allowing it to set overnight is best. Feel free to customize toppings like chocolate shavings or fresh fruits.
