Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 24 Oreo cookies finely crushed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
For the filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cup heavy whipping cream
For decoration
  • 0.25 cup red and blue star sprinkles
  • 0.5 cup crushed Oreos
  • 0.5 cup whipped cream for piping

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 springform pan

Method
 

Make the Oreo crust
  1. Mix the finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted unsalted butter until the texture resembles wet sand, with no dry crumbs remaining. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then refrigerate until set.
Make the cheesecake filling
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until completely smooth with no lumps. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture in two additions until fully combined and airy.
  2. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula, so the surface is even. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
Decorate and serve
  1. Before serving, pipe whipped cream around the edge in a starburst pattern to form a fireworks border. Scatter the red and blue star sprinkles across the center, then dust with crushed Oreos in a fireworks burst pattern for a bright, patriotic look.

Notes

For clean slices, run a hot knife under water, wipe dry, and slice straight down after the cheesecake has chilled overnight; refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days (covered). Freezing is not recommended because the whipped-cream texture can soften after thawing. If you want a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and increase powdered sugar by 1–2 tablespoons to help the filling stay thick.
