Instructions
- Make the Oreo Crust:
In a large bowl, mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a crust. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. - Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until the filling is light and fluffy. - Add the Color and Gelatin:
Stir in the dissolved gelatin and purple gel food coloring, adjusting the amount of color until you achieve your desired shade of purple. - Pour and Set:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the cheesecake is fully set. - Decorate the Cheesecake:
Once set, drizzle with blackberry or grape syrup (optional). Pipe swirls of purple whipped cream around the edges and top with whole Oreo cookies. - Make the Purple Chocolate Glaze:
Melt white chocolate chips with heavy cream in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Add purple food coloring and stir until evenly colored. Drizzle over the cheesecake. - Serve:
Slice and serve immediately. For leftover cheesecake, store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
