Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (for crust)
- 10 Oreo cookies, chopped (for filling)
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) heavy whipping cream, whipped
Sweeteners and Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) melted butter
- Additional Oreo crumbs for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and blend thoroughly with melted butter, creating a compact base mixture.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even, dense layer.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling to help it set and maintain structure.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until silky and smooth, gradually incorporating sugar and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining a light, airy texture.
- Carefully fold chopped Oreo pieces into the creamy filling, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Transfer the entire filling onto the chilled crust, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and eliminate air pockets.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for 4-6 hours, allowing it to completely set and develop a firm, creamy consistency.
- Before serving, garnish with additional crushed Oreo crumbs or a dollop of whipped cream for extra visual appeal and flavor.
- Slice with a clean, chilled knife and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Prevent Crust Crumbling by pressing the Oreo crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, using the back of a spoon or measuring cup to create a compact base.
- Create Gluten-Free Version by substituting regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and ensuring all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Enhance Texture by allowing cream cheese to reach room temperature before mixing, which helps create a smoother, lump-free filling and ensures perfect consistency.
- Customize Flavor Variations by experimenting with different Oreo flavors like mint, peanut butter, or birthday cake to add unique twists to the classic cheesecake recipe.
