Ingredients
For the Oreo Crust
36 Oreo cookies, crushed
6 tablespoons melted butter
For the Mint Cheesecake Layer
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon mint extract
1-2 drops green food coloring (adjust for desired shade)
1 cup heavy whipping cream (or 8 oz whipped topping)
For the Whipped Topping Layer
2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
Mini Oreos, chocolate chips, and green sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust
Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Mint Cheesecake Layer
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the mint extract and green food coloring, mixing until evenly colored.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (if not using Cool Whip).
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mint cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread the mint cheesecake layer over the Oreo crust evenly.
Step 3: Add the Whipped Topping
Spread the whipped topping evenly over the mint layer.
Sprinkle with mini Oreos, chocolate chips, and green sprinkles for decoration.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set.
Slice into squares and enjoy this creamy, minty treat!
