Ingredients
- 2 cups of finely crushed Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 4 packages of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup of strawberry jam
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, using the bottom of a measuring cup to smooth it out. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool while you make the filling.
Step 2: Make the cheesecake filling
In another large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and all-purpose flour until well combined. Gradually add the heavy cream and beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the strawberries
Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the filling in a single layer. Spoon the remaining cheesecake filling over the strawberries and smooth it out with a spatula.
Step 4: Bake and cool the cheesecake
Bake the cheesecake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven with the door slightly open for about 30-45 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Step 5: Add the strawberry jam
In a small saucepan, heat the strawberry jam over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove the cheesecake from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Brush the top of the cheesecake with the melted jam and decorate it with fresh strawberries as desired.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You've made a delicious and mouth-watering strawberry cheesecake with an Oreo cookie crust. This dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a birthday party, a family dinner, or a holiday gathering. Don't be surprised if everyone asks for the recipe! Enjoy!
