📋

Step 1: Make the Crust

Start by mixing your graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, and crushed Oreo cookies (without the cream). Press this mixture firmly into a lined 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan, making sure to get into the corners and create a compact, even layer. Pop it in the fridge while you move on—this chill time is key for a sturdy, delicious base.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

Pour your cold heavy whipping cream into a bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. This simple step turns ordinary cream into the billowy foundation that makes the cheesecake layer so feather-light and impossible to stop at just one bite!
📋 Tip: Chill your bowl and beaters for a few minutes beforehand for the best results.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Base

In another bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is lusciously smooth and creamy. Now, gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula—this will keep the filling light and fluffy, just how summer desserts should be.

Step 4: Add the Oreos

Grab those chopped Oreo cookies (cream and all) and stir them into the cheesecake mixture. This ensures that every bite is studded with pockets of chocolate cookie crunch, making it absolutely impossible to stop at just one bite!
📋 Spread this dreamy filling evenly over your chilled crust.

Step 5: Top It Off

If you’re feeling fancy—and honestly, you should—now’s the time to drizzle generous swirls of caramel sauce right over the top. Scatter on extra Oreo crumbs or chunky bits for even more texture and visual wow. These extras not only make your cheesecake slice beautiful, they double down on the “impossible to stop at just one bite!
📋” effect.

Step 6: Chill

Place the whole pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm and sliceable. For super clean cuts and a sort-of ice cream vibe, pop it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before slicing—trust me, this trick is a game changer!
