✨ Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cookie Crust:
• 20–24 Oreo cookies (about 2 cups crumbs)
• 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted
Choose Your Creamy Layer:
Option 1 – Classic Vanilla Cream:
• 2 blocks cream cheese (8 oz / 226g each), softened
• 1 cup (200g) powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups (480ml) cold heavy cream
Option 2 – Peanut Butter Twist:
• 2 blocks cream cheese (8 oz / 226g each), softened
• ½ cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup (200g) powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups (480ml) cold heavy cream
For the Chocolate Ganache Layer:
• ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
• 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Toppings (Optional but Recommended 😉):
• Whipped cream (½ cup heavy cream + 1–2 tbsp powdered sugar + ¼ tsp vanilla)
• Chocolate sauce or extra ganache
• Chocolate bars, chunks, or shavings (Kit Kat, fudge pieces, etc.)
🧁 Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
• Crush the Oreo cookies (with filling) into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing in a bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
• Mix crumbs with melted butter until fully combined.
• Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes.
2. Make the Cream Layer (Choose 1):
• Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
• Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and peanut butter (if using). Mix well.
• In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Don’t overmix.
3. Prepare the Ganache:
• Heat ½ cup heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
• Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit 5 minutes.
• Whisk until silky smooth. Let it cool to room temp – still pourable, not hot.
4. Assemble the Layers:
• Spread half of the creamy filling over the chilled crust.
• Carefully pour the ganache over it and spread evenly.
• Top with the remaining creamy mixture. Smooth the surface.
• Cover and chill in the fridge for 4–6 hours or overnight.
5. Decorate & Serve:
• Once set, remove the springform ring.
• Whip cream for topping, if using, and decorate with chocolate drizzle, cream dollops, and chocolate chunks.
• Slice and enjoy chilled! 😍
