Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 12 Oreo cookies (whole, for the base)
- 6 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 3 Oreo cookies, crushed (for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Creaming Phase: Blend cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a pristine mixing bowl until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture with zero visible lumps.
- Whipping Technique: Aggressively whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl, beating until stiff, luxurious peaks form that maintain their structural integrity.
- Incorporation Method: Tenderly fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, utilizing a delicate motion to preserve the airy composition and prevent cream deflation.
- Cookie Preparation: Transform Oreo cookies into uniform, fine crumbs, ensuring a consistent, seamless texture without substantial fragments.
- Mixture Assembly: Gently disperse crushed Oreo crumbs throughout the creamy base, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
- Foundation Layer: Construct a foundational base in serving vessels by distributing additional Oreo crumbs, enhancing textural complexity and flavor profile.
- Filling Process: Transfer the Oreo-enhanced cheesecake mixture into prepared containers, meticulously smoothing the surface for a refined, elegant presentation.
- Setting Phase: Chill the mini cheesecakes in refrigeration for extended periods, allowing flavor integration and complete structural stabilization.
- Finishing Touch: Embellish with complementary Oreo crumbles or whole cookies immediately prior to serving, elevating visual appeal and taste complexity.
Notes
- Prevent Lumpy Texture: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature and beat thoroughly to eliminate any potential lumps, creating a smooth and creamy base.
- Maintain Whipped Cream Volume: Chill the bowl and whisk beforehand, and whip cream at high speed with a light touch to achieve maximum volume and stability.
- Fold with Precision: Use a gentle folding motion when combining whipped cream and cream cheese to preserve the airy texture and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Customize Crunch Factor: Adjust Oreo crumb consistency by crushing cookies to different textures – fine for a smoother cheesecake or coarser for more pronounced cookie bits.
