Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 1 package Oreo cookies, crushed You can use original Oreos or a similar chocolate sandwich cookie.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted Use real butter for better flavor.

For the filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened Use full-fat for best texture.

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Use quality vanilla for better flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Chill the bowl and beaters for best results.

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust

  • In a bowl, mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter and press them into the bottom of a springform pan to create the crust.
  • Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs evenly, aiming for a compact, even layer that reaches the edges.

Make the filling

  • In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
  • Beat on medium speed until the mixture is glossy and lump-free, scraping down the sides to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
  • In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, folding in thirds to keep the mixture light and airy.
  • Add a few drops of green food coloring until the desired color is achieved.

Assemble and chill

  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  • Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air pockets and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Serve

  • Once set, remove from the springform pan, top with whipped cream, and decorate with sprinkles before serving.
