Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 1/2 cups crushed)
For the Filling
- 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 1/4 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to form an even crust layer.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Add sprinkles: Fold in the red, white, and blue sprinkles to give the filling a festive, colorful look reminiscent of fireworks.
- Assemble and chill: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared Oreo crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm to allow the cheesecake to set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
- You can substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- This cheesecake is best served chilled and should be stored in the refrigerator.
- For a more intense Oreo flavor, mix some of the cookie crust crumbs into the filling as well.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal and clean presentation.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best texture.
