INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CRUST:
- 30 Oreos — leave the cream inside
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter — melted
FOR THE CHEESECAKE:
- 3 8-ounce blocks cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream — see note
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped Cream — for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Crush Oreos in a food processor. You want a fine crumb.
- Stir melted butter into Oreo crumbs with a fork until all are moistened. Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill until filling is done.
- Beat room temperature cream cheese with a hand or a stand mixer until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the vanilla and then slowly add the whipping cream while mixing. Continue mixing until stiff peaks form (the cheesecake will stand up when you move the mixer).
- Spread cheesecake into prepared pan. Chill at least one hour before slicing and serving.
- Garnish with whipped cream before serving, optional.
