Step 1: Crush Oreo Cookies
Place Oreo cookies in a food processor or sealed plastic bag. Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or pulse in the food processor until completely broken down.
Step 2: Create Crust Base
Mix the crushed Oreo crumbs with melted butter until the mixture becomes slightly wet and holds together. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer.
Use the back of a spoon or flat-bottomed glass to compact the crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
Step 3: Whip Cream Cheese Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 4: Prepare Whipped Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means the cream stands up straight when the whisk is lifted and maintains its shape.
Step 5: Combine Filling
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light and airy filling. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream while mixing.
Step 6: Add Oreo Pieces
Roughly chop additional Oreo cookies. Fold the chopped cookies into the cheesecake filling, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Step 7: Assemble Cheesecake
Pour the Oreo-studded filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
Step 8: Chill and Set
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up completely.
Step 9: Serve and Garnish
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Optional: Garnish with additional crushed Oreo cookies or whole cookies around the edges.
Slice and serve chilled.

FAQs
While you can use low-fat cream cheese, the texture and richness might be slightly different. Full-fat cream cheese provides the best creamy consistency and flavor for a classic no-bake cheesecake.
A springform pan is ideal for easy removal, but you can use a regular cake pan lined with parchment paper. Just be extra careful when removing the cheesecake to prevent cracking.
The cheesecake will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container. Make sure to cover it properly to maintain its texture and prevent absorbing other flavors.
