Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 14.3-ounce package of Birthday Cake Oreos, or Golden Oreos
  • 6-7 (90g) tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups (356ml) + 1/4 cup (59ml) heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 8 ounces (226g) white chocolate bar (such as Ghirardelli or Lindt)
  • 3/4 cup (30g) vanilla cake mix, divided
  • 16 ounces (452g) cream cheese, at room temperature 
  • 1/2 cup (95g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (10ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon (5ml) pure almond extract
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup (236ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup (65g) powdered sugar
  • Assorted fresh fruit, as desired
  • Sprinkles, for garnish


Instructions

For the Crust:

  1. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray and then wiping gently with a paper towel. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
  2. Grind the cookies into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. Pour the melted butter over the cookie crumbs and stir until the crumbs are well coated.
  3. Pour the crumbs into your springform pan and press firmly into the bottom and up on the sides to create a thick crust. Refrigerate the crust while you are preparing the filling.

For the Filling:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring each time until the chocolate is melted. Stir until completely smooth.
  2. Prepare the whipped cream. Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to chill. Beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until thickened to soft peaks. add 1/2 cup of cake mix and continue beating at high speed until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese until it’s completely smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Next, add the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of cake mix, vanilla, and almond extract, and continue beating until smooth.
  4. Nex,t add the melted chocolate, beating until it’s completely mixed into the cream cheese. Finally, slowly fold in the whipped cream and sprinkles in two batches until it’s completely smooth.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours minimum.

For the Topping:

  1. Prepare another batch of whipped cream as directed above. Pipe the borders of the cheesecake with whipped cream using a large open star tip. Garnish with fresh fruit.

Equipment


Notes

  • Sprinkles: It’s best to use “jimmie” instead of nonpareils, these are my favorite ones from Walmart. 

Storing

  • Fridge: Keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days, but wait to add whipped cream until serving.
  • To freeze, chill it in the fridge for 3–4 hours first, then wrap in two layers of plastic and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and add whipped cream before serving.
