Oreo Dream Cheesecake is a rich and creamy Oreo filled dessert that you can never go wrong with. It’s perfect for any party or occasion.
My daughter loves Oreo’s. They are one of her top rated treats. She enjoys anything Oreo flavored from cakes, cheesecakes, cupcakes, cookies, and even pudding. Cheesecake is another one of her top desserts so I decided to use my creative side. I came up with this amazingly creamy Oreo Dream Cheesecake.
What is Oreo Dream Cheesecake?
Oreo Dream Cheesecake is a layer of crushed oreo cookies turned into a crust, then a layer a creamy cheesecake layer filled with oreo cookies. Then I topped the cheesecake with a rich layer of chocolate ganache, and some smooth oreo whipped cream.
What is Oreo Whipped Cream?
Oreo Whipped Cream is a homemade mixture of heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and crushed oreos. It’s a light and fluffy sweet topping to use for decorating this Oreo Dream Cheesecake. Once you make Oreo whipped cream you will never want another kind of whipped cream. It’s very flexible and perfect on so many different types of desserts.
Tips for making Oreo Dream Cheesecake
Make sure that you spray your Springform pan well before pressing your crust into your pan. Using a springform pan is very important for making a cheesecake as you cannot turn your cheesecake upside down to get it out of a regular pan.
I strongly advise that you ensure that you get your crust nicely chilled before you place your cheesecake layer for the Oreo Dream Cheesecake on top of the crust. I always make sure that I leave my crust in my fridge for at least 20 minutes. Sometimes I get busy and leave the crust in for longer.
It is very important with making a cheesecake that you allow all your cold ingredients to come to room temperature. You want to make sure that your eggs, heavy cream, and cream cheese are room temperature before mixing them together to form your batter.
I use an electric hand mixer instead of a large stand mixer, but you can use either one. I just hate dragging my heavy stand mixer out of the cabinet so I avoid it as much as possible. You will want to beat your mixture until it is light and fluffy.
Don’t not beat the cookies when you add them in. You will want to slow stir or fold them into your mixture. Try to avoid crushing them even more.
Your cheesecake can stay in your fridge for up to a week. You can also freezer your cheesecake if you do not eat it all. And, then to thaw just place your cheesecake in your fridge overnight.
