: No-Bake Cream Cheese Oreo Dessert

🥣 Preparation

1️⃣ Prepare the Oreo Base

1. Grind 30 Oreos in a food processor until they resemble flour.The finer the crumbs, the more cohesive the crust will be. Make sure to include the cream filling from the cookies—this helps bind the mixture naturally.
2. Mix with melted butter.Stir until all crumbs are evenly coated, forming a mixture that holds together when pressed between your fingers.
3. Press the mixture into a 22–24 cm square or round pan to form the crust.Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact it firmly. Compressing well ensures the base cuts cleanly once chilled.
4. Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.Cooling allows the butter to solidify, creating a stable foundation for the cream layer.

2️⃣ Make the Creamy Layer

1. Beat the cream cheese until smooth.Room-temperature cream cheese blends easily, eliminating lumps and giving a silky texture.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and continue beating.This sweetens the mixture and enhances the aroma. Beat until fully incorporated and fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff.Well-whipped cream provides lightness and keeps the filling airy rather than dense.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula.Fold slowly using sweeping motions to retain the airiness of the whipped cream. Avoid vigorous mixing.
5. Add 6–8 coarsely crushed Oreos.The larger pieces create texture and bursts of chocolate flavor throughout the filling.
