Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo cookie crust by placing most of the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Reserve a few cookies for garnish.
- Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press the Oreo cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to set.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo cookie base.
- Crush the reserved Oreo cookies and sprinkle them over the top of the cream cheese layer.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set completely.
- Before serving, remove the cake from the springform pan and garnish with chocolate shavings.
- Slice the cake into 12 even pieces and serve chilled.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to guarantee a smooth, lump-free cream cheese mixture.
- When crushing Oreo cookies, pulse in short bursts to achieve a fine, even crumb without over-processing.
- For the most stable whipped cream, chill your mixing bowl and whisk/beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before whipping.
- When folding whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, use a gentle, circular motion to maintain the cream's light and airy texture.
- For clean, precise cake slices, run your knife under hot water and wipe dry between each cut.
- Make this cake a day ahead to allow flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
- For an extra touch of elegance, use a microplane or vegetable peeler to create delicate chocolate shavings for garnish.
