Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 ½ cups crushed, including filling)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 4 oz (115g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- ⅓ cup (80ml) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (optional)
Instructions
- Crush 24 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix crumbs with melted butter until mixture feels like wet sand. Press evenly into bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate crust.
- Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks, about 3-5 minutes on medium-high speed.
- Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, then fold in chopped Oreos.
- Pour filling over chilled crust and smooth top. Tap pan to release air bubbles. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Heat heavy cream until steaming. Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Stir in butter for shine.
- Pour ganache over chilled cheesecake and spread evenly. Chill 15-20 minutes before slicing. Use a hot knife for clean cuts.
Notes
Chill mixing bowl before whipping cream for better results. Use a hot knife dipped in hot water for clean cheesecake slices. Ganache can be warmed gently if too thick before pouring. Crust should be packed firmly to avoid crumbling. Recipe can be adapted for gluten-free or vegan diets by swapping ingredients.
