- Total:
- Serves: 12 persons
Ingredients
- Chocolate Sauce to drizzle
- Oreo Chunks to decorate
- 500g Cream Cheese
- 1teaspoon Vanilla
- ½Cup Caster Sugar
- 190Grams White Chocolate, melted (I used Whittakers)
- ½Cup Thickened Cream or Cooking Cream
- 1Packet Oreo Cookies, approx 16, coarsely chopped
- 85g Butter, melted
- 25Oreo Cookies, finely crushed
Instructions
Step 1
Crush whole Oreo biscuits into a fine crumb in the food processor, add melted butter and blend well.Step 2
Pour into a 20-22 cm springform tin and press down well – for a thinner crust you can press it up the side of the tin or pat it down into one layer.Step 3
Pop this in the fridge while you prepare the filling for approximately 30 minutesStep 4
Rinse out the food processor or use a food mixer for the fillingStep 5
Combine together cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until it is light and fluffy – scraping down the sides occasionally.Step 6
You really want the mixture to be creamy and satiny to ensure you get the best texture in the end so whip a minute longer than you think you need to.Step 7
In a microwave safe bowl, break the chocolate into pieces and melt in the microwave – heating for 20 second bursts, stirring in between until completely melted and smoothStep 8
Add the second measure of Oreos to a ziplock bag, seal and remove the air, crush coarsely with a rolling pin.Step 9
Fold the thickened cream ,second measure of Oreos and melted chocolate gently into the cream cheese mixture until well combined – I used the food processor and just put it on lowest speed until just combined.Step 10
Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the biscuit base and gently smooth it using a knife.Step 11
Refrigerate until set – ideally 4-6 hours, but can also be made a day ahead if required.Step 12
Once set, remove from the fridge for 20 minutes.Step 13
Use a slightly warm knife around the edge and gently undo the spring from tin, then carefully transfer to a serving plate and remove the base of the tin.Step 14
Ideally allow to reach room temperature before serving.Step 15
You can serve it as is, or add some chocolate topping, grated chocolate or even more crushed Oreo's or whipped cream!Step 16
Enjoy!
