Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) cream cheese
- 1 package (405 g) Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 g) heavy whipping cream
- 3 oz (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (90 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (4 g) pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Melt unsalted butter and combine with cookie crumbs, mixing thoroughly with a fork.
- Pan Setup: Lightly brush an 8-inch square baking pan with melted butter and line with parchment paper, ensuring overhang for easy removal. Press the Oreo-butter mixture firmly and evenly into the pan using a measuring cup bottom.
- Cream Preparation: Whip heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixer until stiff peaks form. In the same bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Filling Incorporation: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Fold in reserved Oreo crumbs, ensuring even distribution throughout the filling.
- Freezing Process: Pour the Oreo cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight until completely set.
- Serving: Remove from freezer, lift cheesecake out using parchment paper overhangs. Slice into bite-sized squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Chill Equipment: Ensure mixing bowls and beaters are cold to help whipped cream form stiff peaks faster and maintain better structure.
- Butter Melting Tip: Microwave butter in short intervals, stirring between each to prevent overheating and potential burning.
- Pressing Crust Technique: Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass to create an even, compact crust that won’t crumble when cutting.
- Freezing Strategy: Allow cheesecake to set completely overnight for the best texture and cleanest slice, preventing crumbly or soft edges.
