Ingredients:
- 24 Whole Oreo Cookies (standard size)
- 4 tbsp (56g) Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- 32 oz (900g) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 2/3 cup (135g) Cane Sugar
- 1 cup (245g) Full-fat Greek Yogurt
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Bean Paste
- 4 Large Eggs, room temperature
- 15 Oreo Cookies, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
- 6 Oreo Cookies, halved
Instructions:
- Pulse 24 cookies in a food processor until fine. Mix with melted butter and salt. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes. Let cool.
- Beat room-temperature cream cheese and cane sugar on medium-low speed until silky and lump-free.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt and vanilla bean paste. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined to avoid incorporating excess air.
- Gently fold the 15 chopped cookie chunks into the batter by hand.
- Wrap the pan in three layers of heavy-duty foil. Place in a roasting pan with 1 inch of hot water. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 75 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door. Let the cheesecake cool inside for 60 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Top the chilled cheesecake with whipped cream and halved cookies.
