Ingredients
Scale
- 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Whipped cream
- Handful of strawberries
Instructions
- Craft Base: Pulverize Oreos, wafers, and butter into a fine, uniform crumb mixture, pressing firmly into a springform pan to create a solid, compact foundation.
- Prepare Filling: Whip cream cheese until silky, gradually blending sugars for a velvety smooth texture, then gently incorporate sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Aerate Mixture: Whip heavy cream to stiff, glossy peaks and fold delicately into the cream cheese blend, maintaining a light, ethereal consistency.
- Assemble Cheesecake: Transfer the luxurious filling over the prepared crust, smoothing with a spatula to eliminate any trapped air and ensure an even surface.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, allowing the cheesecake to firm up and develop deep, rich flavors.
- Create Crunch Topping: Combine crushed golden Oreos with melted butter and gelatin to form a crisp, textured sprinkle.
- Garnish and Serve: Generously scatter the crunch topping across the chilled surface, then artfully arrange piped whipped cream and fresh strawberries for a stunning presentation, slicing and serving to delight guests.
Notes
- Chill Perfectly: Ensure the cheesecake sets for at least 6 hours to achieve optimal texture and flavor development.
- Prevent Crumbling: Press the cookie crust firmly and evenly to create a stable base that holds together when sliced.
- Maintain Airiness: Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to preserve the light, delicate texture.
- Topping Technique: Sprinkle the golden Oreo crunch generously just before serving to maintain its crisp, crunchy consistency.
