8oz(225g) package of cream cheese, at room temperature
8oz(225g) package of mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
8Tablespoonsof butterat room temperature
½cup(120ml) of heavy whipping cream
½cup(148g) of Nutella
1cup(120g) of powdered sugar
2teaspoonsof vanilla extract
19oz(180g) package of Oreo cookies
Optional toppings: additional Oreo cookie crumbsfresh fruit
Instructions
Start by removing the filling from the cookies and crushing them into a fine crumb. Melt the butter and mix it into the cookie crumbs. Add a pinch of salt.
Press the Oreo crumb into a pie pan and refrigerate while you make the filling.
Beat the whipping cream in a small bowl until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside.
Beat the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy.
Whisk the powdered sugar into the cheese mixture, add in the whipping cream and beat again for thirty seconds, or until the cream is completely combined.
Next, fold in the heavy cream and Nutella and stir until smooth.
Pour the batter into the pie crust and spread it out evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours before serving.
Notes
Using a food processor to break up the Oreo cookies helps break them down to a nice crumb size for your pie crust.
Make sure your Cream Cheese is room temperature so it’s easy to beat and combine with other ingredients.
If storing cheesecake in the fridge for a bit after it’s done setting, wait to add the toppings or garnishes, like fresh fruit or chocolate candies until you’re ready to eat.
Don’t over mix your filling or it may have a hard time setting.
