Directions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter. Stir until the mixture holds together. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
- Crush Additional Oreos: Using a food processor or high-speed blender, blend the remaining 12 Oreos until finely crushed. This will be folded into the cheesecake filling for added texture.
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the crushed Oreos into the cream cheese mixture. Then, carefully fold in the whipped cream until fully combined, keeping the mixture light and airy.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the prepared Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top for decoration.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
