HOW TO MAKE :
CRUST:
Step 1: Lightly grease the edges of the pan using a cooking spray, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2: Place the cookies in a food processor blender and grind them into fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are completely coated.
Step 3: Into the prepared springform pan, pour the crumbs. Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to make a thick crust. Keep the crust in the fridge until ready to use.
FILLING:
Step 4: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring in between until the melted. Stir well until smooth and set aside.
Step 5: Keep a mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Once ready, take the bowl and whisk from the freezer. Add 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream to the chilled bowl, then beat the heavy cream using an electric or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, beating continuously at high speed until stiff peaks form. When done, set the whipped cream aside.
Step 6: In a different mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the granulated sugar along with the vanilla. Continue to beat until well incorporated.
Step 7: To the cream cheese, add the melted chocolate, beating until thoroughly incorporated. Now, fold in the whipped cream until smooth. Add the crushed Oreos and stir to mix.
Step 8: Into the prepared crust, evenly spread the filling. Keep in the fridge again for at least 3 to 4 hours.
TOPPING:
Step 9: Before serving, prep the second batch of whipped cream. Using a large open round tip, pipe the whipped cream. Lastly, garnish the cheesecake with extra crushed Oreos and hot fudge sauce.
