Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create the perfect Oreo Sprinkle Cheesecake. Don’t worry; everything is simple and easy to find at your local grocery store.

For the Crust:

  • 24 Oreo Cookies (Crushed into Fine Crumbs): You can use regular Oreos, or go for flavored varieties like double stuff for extra creaminess.
  • 5 tbsp Unsalted Butter (Melted): The butter helps the cookie crumbs come together to form the crust.

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese (Softened): Make sure to bring the cream cheese to room temperature so it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar: This helps sweeten the filling and gives it a smooth texture.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract: For a touch of aromatic sweetness to balance out the richness of the cream cheese.
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream (Cold): This will give the cheesecake its velvety smooth texture when whipped.
  • 12-15 Oreo Cookies (Chopped): These will add chunks of Oreo throughout the cheesecake filling, bringing that signature flavor in every bite.
  • ¼ cup Rainbow Sprinkles: These add a fun and festive touch to the dessert. Plus, they make it extra Instagram-worthy!

For the Topping:

  • Whipped Cream: A light, airy topping to contrast the rich cheesecake.
  • Whole Oreo Cookies (For Garnish): These are great for placing on top as a finishing touch.
  • Extra Rainbow Sprinkles (For Garnish): To bring that extra pop of color and fun!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

Start by crushing 24 Oreos into fine crumbs. You can do this using a food processor, or if you don’t have one, simply place the Oreos in a large zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they’re finely ground.

In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter. Mix until everything is well coated. The consistency should resemble wet sand, and it should stick together when pressed.

Now, press this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to pack the crumbs down evenly. Once the crust is in place, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to help it set.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

While the crust is chilling, it’s time to prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. This may take about 1-2 minutes.

Once the cream cheese is smooth, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until everything is fully incorporated, and the mixture is smooth.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for creating a fluffy, light cheesecake filling.

Next, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Use a spatula to fold until everything is evenly combined, and the mixture is light and airy.

Finally, add the chopped Oreo cookies and rainbow sprinkles into the filling and gently fold them in. This will create pockets of Oreo flavor throughout the cheesecake.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake

Take the chilled crust from the fridge and spoon the Oreo cheesecake filling over it. Use a spatula to smooth the top, making sure it’s even. You can leave it as is or create a slight swirl effect with the spatula for some extra visual appeal.

Once the cheesecake is assembled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This will allow the cheesecake to firm up and set properly.

4. Add the Topping

Once the cheesecake has set, it’s time to add the whipped cream topping. You can either pipe the whipped cream on top or spread it with a spatula.

Garnish with whole Oreo cookies and extra rainbow sprinkles for a fun, colorful finish. The sprinkles add a festive, celebratory touch that makes this cheesecake a perfect dessert for any occasion!

5. Serve and Enjoy
