Cookie Monster Cheesecake Adventure (Print version)

A bright blue no-bake Cookie Monster cheesecake with an Oreo crust, cookie chunks in the filling, and a whipped cream topping loaded with cookies and candy eyes.

# Ingredients:

For the Oreo crust

01 - 2 cups (about 24 cookies) Oreo cookie crumbs
02 - 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted

For the blue filling

03 - 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
04 - 1 1/2 cups (180 g) powdered sugar
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
06 - 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
07 - 1-2 tablespoons royal blue gel food coloring
08 - 1 cup (about 8 cookies) Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

For the topping

09 - 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
10 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 - Mini chocolate chip cookies, for decorating
13 - Candy eyeballs, for decorating
14 - Oreo cookie crumbs, for sprinkling

# Instructions:

01 - Pulse 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
02 - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth and lump-free, about 2 minutes.
03 - In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
04 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions. Add the blue gel food coloring a small amount at a time and fold until evenly mixed.
05 - Roughly chop the remaining Oreo cookies and fold them into the blue batter. Do not overmix.
06 - Spread the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
07 - Beat the topping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Pipe or spread over the cheesecake. Decorate with mini cookies, candy eyeballs and cookie crumbs.

# Good to know:

01 - Chill time is crucial. Do not slice before 6 hours.
02 - Add decorations just before serving for the freshest look.
