Ingredients
Scale
- 3 (8 oz) cream cheese blocks, softened
- 3 sleeves Oreo pack (24–28 Oreos), crushed
- ¾ cup crushed Oreos
- 2 (4 oz) chocolate bars, chopped
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 6 tbsps butter, melted
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 5 Oreos, chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream, heated
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chocolate crunchies
- Chocolate whipped cream
- Additional Oreos for decoration
- 2–3 tbsps hard shell topping (optional)
Instructions
- Crust Creation: Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, mixing with melted butter until achieving a damp sand-like consistency. Press mixture firmly into a springform pan, creating a compact, even base. Refrigerate to solidify.
- Cream Cheese Preparation: Whip cream cheese until silky smooth, eliminating any lumps. Blend granulated and powdered sugars thoroughly, then incorporate vanilla extract. Whip heavy cream to stiff, glossy peaks and gently fold into cream cheese mixture.
- Oreo Integration: Fold crushed Oreo pieces delicately throughout the creamy mixture, ensuring even distribution. Transfer filling onto prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for a uniform appearance.
- Chilling Phase: Refrigerate cheesecake for a minimum of six hours or preferably overnight to achieve complete set.
- Ganache Creation: Warm heavy cream until steaming, then pour over finely chopped chocolate. Stir until a smooth, glossy ganache forms. Drizzle evenly across the set cheesecake surface.
- Finishing Touches: Optional: Sprinkle chocolate crunchies over ganache for added texture. Chill briefly to set ganache. Decorate with piped chocolate whipped cream and garnish with a whole Oreo cookie before serving.
Notes
- Crust Consistency Check: Ensure cookie crumbs are uniformly mixed with butter, pressing firmly to create a stable, compact base that prevents crumbling.
- Cream Cheese Technique: Beat cream cheese at room temperature to eliminate lumps, creating a silky-smooth texture essential for creamy cheesecake.
- Folding Finesse: Gently fold whipped cream and Oreo pieces to maintain the cake’s light, airy structure and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Chilling Critical: Allow sufficient refrigeration time (minimum 6 hours) to set the cheesecake completely, ensuring perfect slicing and optimal flavor development.
