How to make this Oreo cheesecake recipe

Oreo crust

1. Blend Oreo cookies in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and beat them with a rolling pin to make a very fine meal.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a saucepan until you have a melted butter.
3. Then place the mixed oreo cookies in a medium bowl and pour the melted butter over them.
4. Mix with a tablespoon until the mixture is smooth and that the cookies are well impregnated with melted butter.
5. Then pour the oreo crust mixture into a pastry circle or a springform pan lined with parchment paper.
6. Press with the back of a tablespoon or the bottom of a glass until you have a thin layer of Oreo cookies crust.
7. Place the springform with the cookies crust in the refrigerator while preparing the Oreo cheesecake batter.

Tip: You can also bring the cookie crust up to the edges for a crisper no-bake Oreo cheesecake.

3 tips for a perfect crust

1. The cookies need to be ground into a very fine meal to make a nice, even, smooth layer.
2. Mix the butter and the cookies well so that they are well impregnated, the butter will moisten the cookies which will help to rebuild a cookie base.
3. Press the mixture well into the bottom of the springform pan, I advise you to use the bottom of a glass to firmly compact the mixture.

Oreo cream cheese filling

• Place room temperature cream cheese sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
• Mix with an hand mixer for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with an hand mixer until stiff.
• Prepare the cookie chunks by crushing them in a plastic bag until they are small but not too big.
• Add whipped cream and crushed cookies to the cream cheese sugar mixture, gently folding in with a flexible spatula until smooth.

Tip: Be sure to fold in the whipped cream and crushed cookies with a spatula to prevent the cream from dropping and to maintain a smooth mousse-like texture.

• Pour the cheesecake mixture into the springform pan or pastry circle over the reconstituted cookie crust and smooth the top with an angled spatula.
• Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight oreo cheesecake in the refrigerator.

Tip: You can place the no bake cheesecake in the freezer to reduce the resting time by 2.

Vanilla mascarpone whipped topping

1. Place the cold heavy cream with the cold mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
2. With an electric mixer beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until stiff.
3. Decorate the no-bake Oreo cheesecake with vanilla mascarpone whipped cream using a piping bag and a decorating tip.
4. Sprinkle a few crushed cookies over the cake and enjoy!
