Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (crushed, including filling)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
  • 4 oz (115 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix the crumbs with 5 tablespoons melted butter until evenly moistened.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to soft peaks.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
  7. Fold in 10 chopped Oreos, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  8. Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set firmly.
  10. Heat ⅓ cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it starts to simmer—do not boil.
  11. Pour the hot cream over 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy.
  12. Stir in 1 teaspoon butter for extra shine if desired. Cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cheesecake.
  13. Pour the ganache evenly over the set cheesecake.
  14. Return to the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the ganache firm up before serving.

Notes

Keep cream cheese at room temperature for smooth blending. Be gentle when folding whipped cream and chopped Oreos to keep filling light and airy. Chill cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Warm ganache slightly if too thick before pouring. Press crust firmly and chill well to prevent sogginess. Optional to toast crust crumbs lightly for extra flavor.
