Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups finely crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies, for mixing into filling
1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies, for topping
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Mix the 1 1/2 cups of finely crushed Oreos with the melted butter until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. Set this aside.
Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. This creates a light, fluffy texture.
Combine the filling: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the 1 cup of crushed Oreos reserved for the filling.
Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly.
Chill: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm. This is a crucial step for a creamy no bake treat.
Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed Oreos over the top. Carefully release the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve this indulgent dessert.
Notes
For an extra rich dessert, you can fold in 4 ounces of softened, melted semi-sweet chocolate into the cream cheese base before adding the whipped cream.
If you want bite sized cheesecake portions, prepare this recipe in a 9×13 inch baking dish instead of a springform pan, then cut into bars after chilling.
Use a food processor to crush the cookies quickly for your chocolate cookie crust.
