Ingredients

• 1 Oreo Crust (or store bought): The base of our dessert, providing that classic cookie crunch.
• 8 ounces (226g) Challenge cream cheese (softened): The foundation of the cheesecake filling, providing creaminess and body.
• ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar: Adds sweetness to balance the tang of the cream cheese.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla: Enhances the overall flavor profile with a warm, inviting note.
• 1 8 ounces container Cool Whip (plus more for garnish): Contributes to the light, airy texture of the filling. Substitute with whipped cream if preferred.
• 10 Oreos (divided): Adds texture and flavor throughout the cheesecake.

How to Make It

Step 1: Mix the Cheesecake Base

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. This step ensures a velvety texture and helps the sugar dissolve evenly.

Step 2: Incorporate the Oreos

Chop 8 of the Oreos into coarse pieces. Mix them into the cream cheese mixture using the mixer until everything is combined. This step will integrate the Oreos and begin breaking them down, adding texture throughout.

Step 3: Fold in the Cool Whip

Gently fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula. This technique keeps the mixture light and airy, creating that melt-in-your-mouth quality.

Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake

Spread the creamy filling into your prepared Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed to maintain an ideal texture when set.

Step 5: Chill and Garnish

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set firm. Before serving, crush the remaining 2 Oreos and sprinkle them on top along with extra whipped topping for added flair and texture.
