For serving: strawberrieswhipped cream, extra Nutella
Instructions
Crush the Oreo cookies (including filling) in a food processor.
Stir together the crushed cookies and melted butter, then press into the bottom of the springform pan and place in the freezer.
In a chilled metal bowl, whip the heavy cream using a strong arm and a whisk or a hand mixer, with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
In a separate bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the rest of the powdered sugar (1/2 cup), cocoa powder, and Nutella.
Take the whipped cream out of the fridge and fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and even.
Stir the batter on top of the cookie crust and smooth the top.
Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or up to 48 hours.
When ready to serve, gently trace a line around the edges of the pan with a thin sharp knife. Then unclamp the springform pan.
Serve with fresh berries, whipped cream and a drizzle of Nutella. (To drizzle the Nutella, heat in a small bowl in the microwave for 20-30 seconds).
Notes
A food processor will make quick work of breaking down the cookies and mixing in the butter.
Always use full fat, brick style cream cheese for cheesecake.
To make ahead, you can prepare the cheesecake up to 2 days in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Reserve garnishes for serving.
