Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies, for filling
1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies, for topping
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Mix the 1 1/2 cups of 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.
Beat the cream cheese: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and there are no lumps.
Add sugar and vanilla: Gradually add the granulated sugar to the cream cheese mixture and beat until combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add cookies: Fold in the 1 cup of crushed Oreos designated for the filling.
Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Chill: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
Garnish and serve: Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Top the cheesecake with the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed Oreos. Slice and serve this easy cheesecake dessert cold.
Notes
For a richer chocolate flavor, use chocolate sandwich cookies that include the cream filling in the crust measurement.
If you want a slightly firmer texture, you can add 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup of hot water to the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream.
This recipe works well for making bite size cheesecakes by using a muffin tin lined with paper liners.
