Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
- 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 24 Oreo cookies (about 2 cups crushed)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Sweet and Binding Ingredients:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish Ingredients:
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
- Whipped cream
- Extra crushed Oreos
- Chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Transform classic Oreo cookies into a delicate, powdery foundation by pulverizing them using a food processor or manually crushing within a sealed plastic bag. Integrate melted butter thoroughly, then compact the mixture into the base of a removable-bottom pan, ensuring an even, dense layer.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whisk cream cheese until velvety, gradually incorporating powdered sugar and aromatic vanilla extract, creating a luxuriously smooth consistency.
- Utilize a separate mixing bowl to aggressively whip cold heavy cream, generating pronounced, rigid peaks that maintain structural integrity.
- Delicately integrate the aerated cream into the cream cheese mixture, employing a gentle folding technique to preserve volume. Introduce additional crushed Oreo fragments, distributing them evenly throughout the creamy landscape.
- Elegantly transfer the decadent filling onto the chilled crust, meticulously smoothing the surface to achieve a pristine, level appearance. Encase the dessert and allow it to rest within the refrigerator’s cool embrace for a minimum of four hours, preferably overnight.
- Moments before serving, embellish the cheesecake with billowy whipped cream, scattered Oreo fragments, or a tantalizing chocolate drizzle, transforming the dessert into a visually stunning culinary masterpiece.
Notes
- Opt for full-fat cream cheese to ensure a rich, creamy texture that holds its shape perfectly.
- Crush Oreos into varied sizes for a more interesting texture, with some fine crumbs and some larger chunks.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumps and create a smoother filling.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and use gluten-free butter alternative.
