OREO CHEESECAKE

Cookie base:

Using a food chopper, finely crush the Oreo cookies and add a pinch of salt. Melt the butter and with the help of a hand mixer mix it into the cookie mass so that the ingredients combine well with each other. Prepare a baking tray of 25 cm, then cover the bottom of the model with baking paper. Using a glass, press the prepared mass against the base and distribute it evenly. Place the baking tray in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Meanwhile, bring the oven to 180 degrees, then bake for about 10 minutes and take the baking tray out of the oven.

Mascarpone cream:

Using a hand mixer, gently stir in mascarpone, sour cream, powdered sugar and vanilla paste. Stir until the ingredients blend well together. Pour the sweet whipping cream into a separate bowl. Start whisking at low speed, then increase the speed to medium-high until the mixture thickens. Add whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and mix gently. Spread 1/2 of the cream evenly over the cookie base, then spread the Oreo crumbs over the cream layer and add the other half of the cream on top. Place the baking tray in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Ganache:

I was inspired to create the “Zebra” ganache by Preppy Kitchen. Start preparing the ganache the next day, when the cake has cooled down well. Repeat the method, once with white and the second time with dark chocolate. Chop the chocolate with a knife. Heat the sweet cream slowly over medium heat until boiling. Set the cream aside and pour over the chopped chocolate. Wait 1-2 minutes, then start mixing until the ingredients combine and the mixture becomes completely smooth. Pour white chocolate ganache on the cooled cake, then add spoons of dark chocolate and use a toothpick to create patterns of any shape. Place in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow ganache to harden.

Decoration:

Whip the sweet cream and add powdered sugar to it, somewhere in the first third of the whipping. Put the cream in a piping bag. Decorate the cake edge with a piping nozzle of choice and add whole Oreo cookies in between. Last but not least, sprinkle with Oreo crumbs and serve.
