Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 25 whole Oreo cookies filling included
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature (2 blocks)
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 3-4 drops neon green gel food coloring adjust for desired shade
Toppings
  • 1 cup whipped cream for garnish
  • 2 tbsp red heart sprinkles
  • 1 tbsp holiday sprinkles green/white mix

Equipment

  • 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan
  • Electric Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Rubber Spatula

Method
 

  1. Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and pulse to combine.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Freeze for 10-15 minutes to set.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  5. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  6. Add the green gel food coloring to the cheese mixture and beat until the color is evenly distributed and vibrant.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until combined and fluffy.
  8. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  9. Once set, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into squares.
  10. Top each square with a dollop of whipped cream and red heart sprinkles before serving.
