Ingredients:
- 24 whole Oreo cookies (approx. 260g)
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (70g)
- 1 pinch salt
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened (450g)
- 1.25 cups powdered sugar, divided (145g)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (60g)
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups heavy whipping cream, divided (540ml)
- 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (130g)
- 12 mini Oreos for garnish
Instructions:
- Pulverize 24 Oreos in a food processor until they reach a fine, sandy crumb consistency.
- Combine crumbs with 5 tablespoons of melted butter and a pinch of salt. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a compressed base.
- Chill the base. Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar until completely smooth and aerated.
- Mix in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate chilled bowl, beat 1.5 cups of heavy cream with the remaining 0.25 cups powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, followed by the 12 chopped Oreos.
- Spread the filling evenly over the prepared crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to set.
- Before serving, whip the remaining 0.75 cups of heavy cream. Pipe onto the cheesecake and garnish with mini Oreos.
