Oreo Cheesecake

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.

2. 2

   Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Combine the melted butter with the Oreo crumbs and mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue to beat until well combined.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

7. 7

   Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

8. 8

   Pour the cream cheese filling over the Oreo crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

9. 9

   Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

    Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your delicious Oreo Cheesecake!
