Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies, for topping
Instructions
Combine the 1 1/2 cups of crushed Oreos and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Pour in the 1/4 cup of heavy cream and mix on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate, clean bowl, whip the 1 cup of chilled heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
Before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of crushed Oreos over the top. Release the springform side carefully.
Notes
For the easiest crust removal, line the bottom of the springform pan with a circle of parchment paper before adding the cookie mixture.
If you prefer a slightly firmer filling, you can add 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons of cold water to the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped cream.
Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling texture.
