Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 3/4 cups (369g) Oreo cookie crumbs (about 31 Oreos)
- 7 tablespoons (98g) butter (salted or unsalted), melted
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles
Gelatin Mixture
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (0.25 oz package) unflavored gelatin
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 ounces (678g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
- 1 1/2 cups strawberry Nesquik powder mix (or similar strawberry milk powder)
- 1/4 cup (58g) sour cream
- 2 teaspoons strawberry extract
Whipped Cream for Filling
- 1 1/4 cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 3/4 cup (86g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped Cream for Topping
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/2 cup (58g) powdered sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Make the Crust: Line a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper on the bottom and grease the sides. Combine Oreo cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sprinkles in a small bowl and press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
- Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle unflavored gelatin evenly over cold water in a small bowl so all powder touches the water. If needed, stir to moisten completely. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom and hydrate.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and well combined. Add the strawberry milk powder and mix until fully incorporated and smooth. Stir in sour cream and strawberry extract until uniform.
- Melt Gelatin and Combine: Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave or stove just until melted—about 10 seconds. Stir the melted gelatin into the cream cheese mixture thoroughly and set aside.
- Whip Cream for Filling: In a separate large bowl, add cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold Whipped Cream into Filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions, being careful to maintain the light, airy texture.
- Assemble Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling onto the chilled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours until firm and cold.
- Remove and Smooth: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan carefully and transfer to a serving plate or platter. Use an offset spatula to smooth the sides if desired.
- Prepare Whipped Cream Topping: In a clean large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Decorate Cheesecake: Pipe the whipped cream around the outer edge of the cheesecake using a piping tip (such as Ateco tip 844). Sprinkle with additional colorful sprinkles for a festive finish.
- Store Properly: Keep the cheesecake refrigerated in a well-covered container or air-tight cake carrier. Consume within 4-5 days for optimal freshness.
Notes
- The strawberry milk powder can be substituted with any strawberry-flavored milkshake or smoothie powder for similar flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing and to avoid lumps.
- Blooming the gelatin properly is essential to avoid clumps and ensure the cheesecake sets well.
- Cold heavy cream whips better and yields more volume.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake.
- Optional: Use an offset spatula to smooth sides after removing from pan for a polished look.
- Store cheesecake in the refrigerator and avoid leaving it out for extended periods since it contains dairy products.
