  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ packages (approx. 24-28 cookies) Oreo cookies, finely crushed (about 2 ½ cups crumbs)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream, very cold
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries, roughly chopped (if frozen, no need to thaw)
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, finely crush Oreo cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. Alternatively, place cookies in a resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin. In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate or a springform pan. Place in the freezer to chill while preparing the filling, about 15 minutes.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate, very cold bowl (chilling for 10-15 minutes prior can help), pour in the cold heavy cream. Using clean beaters, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat, or it may turn grainy.
  4. Combine and Fold: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain and the filling is light and airy. Then, gently fold in the chopped cherries and mini chocolate chips until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecake: Spoon the creamy filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top for a polished finish.
  6. Chill and Set: Cover the cheesecake loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely and achieve its firm, sliceable texture.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, remove from the refrigerator. If using a springform pan, carefully remove the sides. Garnish with additional mini chocolate chips, a few whole cherries, or a dollop of extra whipped cream if desired. Slice into generous portions and enjoy this delightful, fuss-free dessert!

Notes

For the best texture and stability, always use full-fat cream cheese and ensure it’s properly softened. Heavy cream whips best when it’s very cold, so keep it in the fridge until just before use. This cheesecake is best made a day ahead to allow ample chilling time for a firm set. Feel free to experiment with other berries like raspberries or blueberries, or different types of chocolate chips. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
