Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipping cream or heavy cream
- 16 Oreo cookies, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch square pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Crush Base Cookies: Take 8 ounces of Oreo cookies and crush them into fine crumbs to form the base layer.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter, stirring until evenly mixed.
- Form Base: Transfer the crumb mixture into the prepared pan, pressing firmly and evenly onto the parchment paper to create a compact base layer.
- Chill Base: Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
- Make Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with vanilla extract, sugar, and whipping cream until smooth and creamy.
- Chop Cookies: Chop the 16 Oreo cookies into small pieces to add texture to the filling.
- Combine Filling and Cookies: Fold the chopped Oreos into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
- Assemble Cake: Remove the pan from the refrigerator and pour the filling evenly over the chilled base layer.
- Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the assembled cake for 4 to 6 hours, or until the filling is firm and sliceable.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Press the base firmly so that it holds together well when slicing.
- This dessert tastes best after chilling overnight for optimal firmness and flavor melding.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and whipping cream for the richest texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
