Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 4 hours
Servings: 8 servings
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 30 pieces Oreo cookies (leave the cream inside)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
For the Filling:
  • 3 8-ounce blocks cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for garnish

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by placing the 30 Oreos in your food processor. Pulse them until they are fine crumbs. Pour the crumbs into a mixing bowl and add the 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of your 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the 3 blocks of cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the 1 cup of powdered sugar and continue to beat until fully combined. Make sure there are no lumps!
  4. In another bowl, whip the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This is where the cheesecake gets its airy texture!
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want to keep that light and fluffy texture.
  6. Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long!
  7. Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with whipped cream and additional crushed Oreos if desired. Slice, serve, and watch it disappear!

Notes

  • Let cream cheese reach room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Do not overmix the whipped cream to avoid graininess.
  • Allow ample chilling time for the best texture.
  • Patience is key; wait until fully set before slicing.
