Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups Oreo baking crumbs (or 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed)
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling
- 900 grams plain cream cheese (4 cups or about 32 ounces)
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 cups whipped cream
- 24-28 coarsely crushed Oreo cookies
Garnish
- Extra whipped cream
- Chocolate sauce
- Additional Oreo cookies, crushed or whole
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the Oreo baking crumbs and the melted butter in a mixing bowl, ensuring the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan to form an even crust layer.
- Make the cream cheese mixture: Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to whip on high speed to ensure a well-combined, fluffy texture.
- Incorporate whipped cream and Oreos: Gently fold in the whipped cream and the coarsely crushed Oreo cookies to the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix carefully just until everything is evenly combined to maintain the light texture.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.
- Chill the cheesecake: Place the assembled cheesecake in the freezer and chill for at least 2 hours, although 4 hours or more will yield a firmer set. Before serving, allow the cheesecake to rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften slightly.
- Garnish and serve: Decorate the top with extra whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate sauce, and sprinkle with crushed or whole Oreo cookies as desired. Slice and serve chilled for best results.
Notes
- For best texture, use full-fat cream cheese and freshly whipped cream.
- Freezing time can be extended to overnight if preferred.
- To easily crush Oreos, place them in a sealed plastic bag and gently crush with a rolling pin.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature before whipping to avoid lumps.
- Remove cheesecake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for easier slicing.
