Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 24 Oreo cookies Finely crushed for a wet-sand texture crust.
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter Melted.
For the filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese Softened to room temperature.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cup heavy whipping cream Whipped to stiff peaks.
For decoration
  • Red and blue star sprinkles Scatter across the center.
  • Crushed Oreos Dust in a fireworks burst pattern.
  • Whipped cream for piping Pipe around the edge.

Equipment

  • 1 springform pan
  • 1 hand mixer

Method
 

Make the Oreo crust
  1. Mix finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted unsalted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then refrigerate to set.
Make the cheesecake filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until completely smooth with no lumps. Pause to scrape the sides as needed so the filling stays silky.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks. Fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture in two additions to keep the filling airy.
Assemble and chill
  1. Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust, then smooth the top with an offset spatula. Tap the pan lightly to level the surface.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set. The center should jiggle only slightly when done.
Decorate and serve
  1. Before serving, pipe whipped cream around the edge of the cheesecake to form a starburst effect. Scatter red and blue star sprinkles across the center for a fireworks look.
  2. Dust with crushed Oreos in a fireworks burst pattern. Slice with a clean, warm knife for neat edges.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, chill overnight and wipe the knife between cuts. Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because whipped topping texture can change after thawing. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese (results may be slightly softer).
