Ingredients:
24 Oreo cookies (for crust and topping)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
400g (about 14 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
6-8 Oreo cookies, chopped (for folding into the filling)
Instructions:
Make the crust:
Crush 18 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs (use a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin).
Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan or any cake pan with removable bottom.
Place the crust in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
Prepare the filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
Assemble the cheesecake:
Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until firm (overnight is best).
Serve:
Decorate the top with crushed Oreos or whole Oreos before serving.
Slice and enjoy your creamy no-bake Oreo cheesecake!
