- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined springform pan.
Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Add the Oreos:
- Crush an additional 10-12 Oreo cookies into chunks and fold these into the filling.
Assemble and Chill:
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- For extra decoration, sprinkle some additional crushed Oreos on top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours (overnight is best).
Serve:
- Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Cut into slices and serve. Optionally, top with whipped cream and mini Oreos for garnish.

For best results, ensure that your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing for a smooth texture.
Feel free to use different flavors of Oreos to customize the cheesecake.
This cheesecake can be made a day ahead, as the flavor improves after resting.
If freezing, wrap in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
