Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve some whole for garnish if desired)
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy cream, chilled
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place 24 Oreo cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you get mostly crumbs with some small chunks for texture. Set aside about 1/2 cup (50 g) crumbs for garnish.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat 16 oz (450 g) softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
- Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Fold whipped cream into cream cheese: Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to create a velvety texture.
- Assemble the jars: Spoon a layer of crushed Oreos (about 2 tbsp) into each jar, add a generous layer of cheesecake filling (about 1/4 cup), then a layer of whipped cream (about 2 tbsp). Repeat the layers once more and finish with whipped cream on top.
- Garnish and chill: Sprinkle reserved Oreo crumbs on top and optionally add a mini Oreo or chocolate shavings. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Notes
Softening the cream cheese fully is essential for a smooth filling. Chill mixing bowls and beaters before whipping cream for better volume. Fold whipped cream gently to keep the mixture airy. Chill jars for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Can substitute ingredients for vegan or gluten-free versions.
