Ingredients
→ Crust:
1½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs
⅓ cup butter, melted
Whole Oreo cookies (for lining the pan edges – optional but dramatic)
→ Cheesecake Filling:
4 blocks (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup chopped Oreos
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 cups heavy cream
→ Toppings (Optional but Recommended):
Warm hot fudge sauce, for drizzling
Crushed Oreos
Crushed peppermint candies
Whipped cream
Extra whole Oreos (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, stir melted butter into Oreo crumbs until evenly combined.
Press mixture into the bottom (and slightly up the sides) of an 8-inch springform pan.
Optional: Line the inner edge with whole Oreo cookies, standing upright to create a cookie border.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, chopped Oreos, and peppermint extract with an electric mixer until smooth.
Pour in the heavy cream and whip until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and holds soft peaks.
Assemble and Chill:
Spoon the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or freeze for 4 hours until set.
Decorate and Serve:
Just before serving, drizzle with warm hot fudge, and top with crushed Oreos, peppermints, and whipped cream.
Slice and serve cold. Garnish each slice with a full Oreo if desired.
Notes
For best texture, chill overnight.
Swap peppermint extract with vanilla if making a non-holiday version.
You can make this dessert 1–2 days in advance and keep refrigerated.
