Ingredients

Crust

24 cookies Oreo cookies Use whole cookies, cream included.
½ cup Butter (melted) Can use margarine if dairy-free.

Filling

16 ounces Cream cheese (softened) Ensure it's at room temperature.
¾ cup White sugar Adjust to taste.
1 cup Heavy whipping cream Cool Whip can be used as a shortcut.
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Almond or peppermint extract can be used.
2 tablespoons Cocoa powder Use unsweetened for best results.
1 tablespoon Red food coloring Adjust for desired color depth.

Decorations

¼ cup Christmas sprinkles Add festive touch.
1 cup Whipped cream (for topping) For lightness and visual appeal.
10 pieces Mini Oreos For additional crunch.

Instructions

Preparation

Blend the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix in the melted butter until combined, then press into the bottom of an 8-9 inch springform pan. Chill for about 30 minutes to set.
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form and set aside.
In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and white sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into two bowls. In one, mix cocoa powder and red food coloring. In the second, fold in Christmas sprinkles.
Take spoonfuls from each bowl and alternate into the chilled crust. Use a knife to swirl together.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, top with whipped cream, mini Oreos, and sprinkles.

Notes

This cheesecake is perfect for make-ahead preparation. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage without toppings.
