How to make Oreo raspberry cheesecake
To make the Oreo crust, remove the cream from the Oreo cookies' center (photo 1).
Pulse cookie halves in a food processor to make fine crumbs (photo 2).
Add heavy cream and combine it with hands (photo 3).
Place a 6-7 inch/16 cm adjustable cake ring on parchment paper, line with acetate cake collar, and press the mixture into the bottom with hands and/or a tablespoon (photo 4). Place in the freezer.
To make cheesecake, soak gelatin sheets in cold water for about 10 minutes.
Chop whole Oreo cookies into large pieces (photo 5), remove crumbs, and set them aside.
In a separate bowl, beat cold whipping cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form (photo 6) and place in the fridge.
Place a fine-meshed strainer over a large bowl and press fresh raspberries with the back of a spoon to get the raspberry puree. Discard the seeds.
Bring a saucepan with raspberry puree and sugar over medium heat and cook till the sugar dissolves.
Remove the saucepan from heat, add drained gelatin, and mix. Set aside (photo 7).
In a large bowl, place cream cheese at room temperature. Add raspberry/sugar/gelatin mixture, 5 to 7 drops of red food color, and whisk with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, but do not over mix (photo 8).
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the chopped cookies into the filling (photo 9).
Fold in the whipped cream evenly with the use of the spatula (photo 10).
Pour the cheesecake filling over the frozen cookie crust (photo 11). Refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours or overnight.

Matea says
I made this cheesecake on Friday for my husband's bday because he loves raspberries. I made it in a 26cm springform, doubled the recipe for it. The only thing I will change next time is the amount of cookies in the crust, i.e., I will put 48 cookies to make it a bit thicker. I reduced raspberry pure and just spooned it over the cheesecake when it cooled. Great recipe. Thank you!
★★★★★
Irina says
