Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup butter
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by placing Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds. Mix melted butter with the Oreo cookie crumbs until they are well combined and resemble a wet sand texture.
- Press the Oreo cookie and butter mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to compact the crust.
- Place the prepared crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling, approximately 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Mix in vanilla extract, blending until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Stir until the filling is light and fluffy.
- Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator and pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the Oreo crust.
- Use a spatula to smooth the top of the filling, creating an even surface.
- Crush additional Oreo cookies and sprinkle them on top of the cheesecake for decoration, if desired.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
- Before serving, remove from refrigerator 10-15 minutes prior to slicing to allow the pie to soften slightly.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled. Optional: Garnish with whipped cream or additional crushed Oreos.
Tips
- Crush Those Cookies: For a perfectly textured crust, ensure the Oreo crumbs are fine. If you don’t have a food processor, a rolling pin works just as well—just be sure to seal the bag tightly!
- Butter Temperature: Melt the butter until it's just liquid—about 30 seconds in the microwave should do the trick. This will help the crust hold together beautifully.
- Chill Time is Key: Don’t rush the chilling process! Allowing the pie to set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight for the best results) will ensure a firm, sliceable cheesecake.
- Whipped Cream Magic: When folding in the whipped cream, be gentle to maintain that light and fluffy texture. This will make your cheesecake filling airy and delightful.
- Garnish for Flair: For an extra touch, consider garnishing with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of crushed Oreos on top before serving. It not only looks great but adds an extra crunch!
