Ingredients
  

24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Extra crushed Oreos for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Start by combining the finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well until all the crumbs are evenly coated in butter. This will form the base of your cheesecake.

    Next, press the Oreo crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Ensure it is compact and even to create a solid crust. Once done, place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you work on the filling.

      In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it’s creamy and smooth, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

        Gradually add in the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to the cream cheese. Mix until the mixture is well blended and silky. Take your time to ensure everything is thoroughly combined.

          In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using either a stand or hand mixer until stiff peaks form – this usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as you want it to be light and fluffy.

            Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula. Carefully combine until no streaks remain, ensuring the filling stays airy and light.

              Pour the luxurious pumpkin cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust, using a spatula to smooth the surface.

                Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight to allow it to set properly.

                  After the cheesecake has chilled and set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. If desired, garnish the top with extra crushed Oreos for an added crunch and festive flair.
