Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
- 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (100g) additional crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
Instructions
- Crush about 1 ½ cups (150g) of chocolate sandwich cookies using a food processor or by smashing in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin.
- Combine cookie crumbs with 6 tbsp (85g) melted unsalted butter in a bowl until mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the base and about ½ inch up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
- Beat 16 oz (450g) softened cream cheese with ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream with 1 tsp vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in 1 cup (100g) crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.
- Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, run a thin knife around the pan edges, release the springform, and slice with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts.
Notes
Softened cream cheese is essential for a smooth filling. Whip cream to stiff peaks for best texture. Chill cheesecake at least 4 hours or overnight for firm slices. If filling is too soft after chilling, freeze for 15 minutes to set without freezing solid. Use gluten-free cookies and dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream for allergy-friendly or vegan versions.
