Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a mixing bowl until well combined.
Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until it’s smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully combined.
Whip the cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly.
Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Remove the sides of the springform pan carefully and serve.
Top with additional crushed Oreos or whipped cream before serving, if desired.
Slice and serve your cheesecake chilled for the best experience.
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid over-whipping the heavy cream.
