Chilled Oreo Cheesecake: The recipe

Oreo cheesecake is also a biscuit based cheesecake. And also, an easy one to make.
For the base:
200gm Oreo biscuits
70gm melted butter
Separate the cream from the biscuits. Crush the biscuits and mix with the melted butter.
Press onto base of your mould. I use 8” loose bottom round tin. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Other ingredients:
250gm cream cheese
250gm whipping cream
80gm caster sugar
15gm gelatin
60gm water
1 piece Oreo biscuit – coarsely crushed
1. Beat cheese, the cream from the biscuits (used for the base) and sugar until thick and creamy.
2. Mix the gelatine with water and double boil until the gelatine completely dissolves. Pour into cheese mixture. Mix well.
3. Beat cream until soft peaks form. Add into the cheese mixture and mix until just combined.
4. Tip the coarsely crushed Oreo biscuit, stir and pour into mould. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
Creatively decorate with more Oreo biscuits to your liking!
I usually use Philadelphia cream cheese for my cheesecake. You might want to try using other brands.
