Ingredients
Method
Preparation of the crust
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
- Combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter in a mixing bowl and stir until well-combined.
- Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan.
- Place the crust in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.
Preparation of the filling
- In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well incorporated.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until there are no streaks.
Assembly
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
- Crumble some extra Oreos on top for decoration, if desired.
Chilling
- Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Serving
- Once fully set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and enjoy.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling. It's best to allow ample chill time after assembling, ideally overnight, and you can customize the recipe with flavored extracts for an extra kick!
