Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies (crushed)
- 4 tbsp salted butter (melted)
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cup powdered sugar (230g, sifted)
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1½ cup heavy whipping cream (very cold)
- 16 Oreo cookies (roughly chopped)
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with melted salted butter, stirring thoroughly to saturate all the crumbs evenly. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of the lined springform pan.
- Freeze the Crust: Place the prepared pan in the freezer to firm up the crust while you prepare the cheesecake filling. This step helps the crust set properly so it holds its shape.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Then add the sifted powdered sugar, pure vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Continue to beat the mixture for about 4 minutes or until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the very cold heavy whipping cream with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. This will add airiness and light texture to the filling.
- Fold Ingredients Together: Gently fold the whipped cream and the roughly chopped Oreos into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Once combined, pour the filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill to Set: Cover the springform pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled directly from the pan.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth, lump-free filling.
- Be sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping for best volume.
- Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling when serving.
- Chilling time is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly; do not skip or shorten.
- For easier slicing, run a knife dipped in hot water around the edges before opening the springform pan.
