Making Oreo Cheesecake is easier than you might think! Follow these simple steps to create a delicious dessert:

1. Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray or line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Make the Crust: In a food processor, crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined.
3. Press the Crust: Firmly press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Set aside.
4. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
5. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
6. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
7. Add Crushed Oreos: Fold in the 10 crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
8. Pour Filling: Spoon the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
10. Garnish: Before serving, garnish with additional crushed Oreos or whole Oreos on top if desired.
