Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe and you can always make substitutions if you prefer.

• Oreo cookies – They form the crust and add that signature cookies and cream flavor throughout the cheesecake.
• Butter – Melted butter binds the crust so it stays firm.
• Cream cheese – This gives the cheesecake its rich creamy base.
• Granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and helps smooth the filling.
• Vanilla extract – Enhances the flavor of the creamy mixture.
• Heavy whipping cream – Whipped to create a light and fluffy texture.
• Additional Oreos – Folded into the filling for extra crunch.

Tools You’ll Need

• Food processor – I use this to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs for the crust.
• Mixing bowls – These help me keep the wet and dry components organized.
• Electric mixer – I rely on it to whip the cream and blend the filling smoothly.
• Rubber spatula – Perfect for folding in crushed cookies without deflating the mixture.
• Springform pan – This allows me to release the cheesecake easily once it has set.
• Measuring cups and spoons – Essential for accuracy so the texture comes out exactly right.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

I start by adding the Oreos to the food processor and pulsing until the crumbs are very fine. Then I pour in the melted butter and blend again until everything looks like wet sand. I press the mixture firmly into the bottom of my springform pan making sure it’s evenly packed.

Step 2: Chill the Crust

I place the crust in the fridge so it can firm up while I work on the filling. This helps it hold together better once the cheesecake is assembled.

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Base

I beat the cream cheese with sugar until it becomes smooth and fluffy. I add the vanilla extract and keep mixing until everything is silky without lumps.

Step 4: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl I whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This step adds lightness to the cheesecake so I make sure not to overbeat it.

Step 5: Fold the Mixtures Together

I gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. I take my time so I don’t deflate the airy texture then I fold in the chopped Oreos.

Step 6: Assemble the Cheesecake

I spread the filling onto the chilled crust smoothing the top with my spatula.

Step 7: Chill Until Set

I place the cheesecake into the fridge for at least 6 hours but I prefer overnight because it becomes firmer and easier to slice.

Tips

When I want the crust to taste extra chocolaty I mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder with the crumbs. If I’m craving a sweeter cheesecake I add a bit more sugar to the filling. I also love topping the finished cheesecake with whipped cream and whole Oreos because it adds height and a fun presentation. If the mixture seems too soft I chill it briefly before pouring it over the crust so it spreads more neatly.

Ways to Serve

I love cutting generous slices and serving them with whipped cream and extra Oreo pieces for crunch. You can drizzle chocolate syrup over the top for an even richer dessert. I also enjoy pairing this cheesecake with fresh berries since the slight tartness balances the sweetness beautifully. For special occasions I place it on a cake stand and decorate the edges with piped cream for a bakery-style finish.

Storage Instructions

I keep my Oreo cheesecake in the fridge covered tightly with plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out. It stays fresh for up to 5 days. If I want to prepare it ahead I freeze individual slices by wrapping them well and storing them in a freezer-safe bag. When I’m ready to enjoy a piece I thaw it in the fridge for a few hours.
