Ingredients
Scale
30 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos), crushed (for crust and filling)
1/4 cup melted butter (for the crust)
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Blue food coloring (optional, for decoration)
Extra whole chocolate cookies for garnish
Instructions
- Make the Crust:
Crush 20 chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create a firm crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling. - Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix. Set aside. - Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy. - Add Cookies to Filling:
Crush 10 more chocolate sandwich cookies into medium-sized chunks and fold them into the cheesecake filling along with the optional chocolate chips. - Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top. If desired, add a few drops of blue food coloring to whipped cream for decoration and pipe it around the edges. Garnish with whole cookies on top for a fun finish. - Chill:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm. - Serve:
Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze individual slices for later.
