Ingredients

• 24 Oreo cookies (for crust)
• 6 tablespoons melted butter
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 12-15 Oreo cookies, crushed (for filling)
• Whole Oreo cookies (for topping)

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the crust: Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
2. Combine the crushed Oreos with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
4. For the filling, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth.
7. Fold in the crushed Oreos (12-15 cookies) to add the delightful cookie crunch to the filling.
8. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours to set.
10. Before serving, top the cheesecake with whole Oreo cookies for an extra touch of indulgence and a delightful presentation.
