Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
Prepare the Crust
Add 24 Oreo cookies (with filling) to a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl and stir in 5 tablespoons melted butter until evenly moistened.Form the Base
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup for a tightly packed, flat crust. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes while preparing the filling.Whip the Cream
In a cold mixing bowl, beat 2 cups of heavy cream with a mixer on high until stiff peaks form. Set aside.Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a separate bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.Fold in Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a silicone spatula until well combined and fluffy.Add Crushed Oreos
Fold in 10 roughly crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the filling.Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly with an offset spatula. Smooth the top for a clean finish.Chill and Set
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set and firm.Decorate and Serve
Once set, release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with dollops of whipped cream and halved Oreos. Slice with a warm knife for clean edges and serve chilled.
