Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreos, crushed (regular or Double Stuf)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
  • Optional: 1/4 cup almond flour (to substitute part of Oreo crumbs for gluten-free option)
  • Optional dairy-free: coconut cream instead of heavy cream and vegan cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Crush about 24 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin inside a sealed bag.
  2. Mix the Oreo crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until the mixture feels like wet sand.
  3. Press the Oreo crust mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan. Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  6. In a chilled bowl, whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream with 1/3 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat.
  7. Gently fold about half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to keep the mixture airy and smooth.
  8. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust.
  9. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup (50g) crushed Oreos on top.
  10. Spoon the remaining cream cheese mixture over the Oreo layer and smooth the top.
  11. Whip an extra 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then spread this fluffy layer on top.
  12. Garnish with a few Oreo halves or crumbs.
  13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  14. Before serving, run a knife around the pan’s edge, release the springform, and slice with a hot, dry knife for clean cuts.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Use a gentle folding technique to keep the mixture airy. Chill crust before adding filling to prevent sliding. Use a hot, dry knife for clean slices. Avoid freezing as whipped cream layers may separate. Can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the fridge up to 4 days.
