Ingredients
  

  • For the crust:
  • 24 Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 pinch of salt (optional, but helps balance sweetness)
  • For the filling:
  • 16 ounces (450 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
  • 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional, for a light tang)
  • Pinch of salt
  • For topping (optional): Whipped cream, extra crushed Oreos, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce

Method
 

  1. Prep the pan: Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides.
  2. Make the crust: Pulse 24 Oreos (cookies and cream together) in a food processor until fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and a pinch of salt until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Press and chill: Firmly press crumbs into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan. Use a flat-bottomed cup to compact. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  4. Beat the cream: In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Set aside.
  5. Make the cheesecake base: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice (if using), and a pinch of salt. Beat until creamy with no lumps.
  6. Fold it together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Add Oreos: Fold in the chopped Oreos so they’re evenly spread through the filling.
  8. Fill the crust: Spoon the filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  9. Chill to set: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm enough to slice.
  10. Finish and serve: Run a thin knife around the edge, release the springform, and top with whipped cream and crushed Oreos if you like. Slice with a warm, clean knife for neat edges.
