Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 360 grams), crushed finely (reserve some for garnish)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup (90 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8 crushed Oreo cookies folded into the filling (optional but recommended)
  • 6 ounces (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush 24 Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until combined and the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling (about 10 minutes).
  2. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup cold heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes). Be careful not to overbeat.
  3. Mix the cheeses and sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat 8 ounces mascarpone and 8 ounces softened cream cheese with ¾ cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  4. Fold in whipped cream and Oreos: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Add 8 crushed Oreos if desired. Fold slowly to keep the mixture light and airy.
  5. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Make the chocolate ganache: Heat ½ cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon butter for shine.
  7. Top and serve: Once the cheesecake is set, pour the ganache evenly over the top. Chill for another 30 minutes to let the ganache firm up slightly. Garnish with reserved crushed Oreos or whole cookies before slicing.

Notes

Do not rush chilling stages; overnight chilling yields the best texture. Use a hot, wet knife for clean slicing. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly. Folding gently preserves airiness in the filling.
