No bake Oreo cheesecake

Finally, finally,  I managed to upload one of the loooong  outstanding recipes. I have tried so many recipes since my retirement and I did not pick up the courage to post.  Moreover, I was kind of fickled of which one first.....

    Discussed with my girl and she suggested for this. Ok,then we shall.

    A very Oreo-yy taste cheesecake and the longer you age it in the fridge, the better it taste. Hubby    likes it and he said this is one of the worthwhile recipe to be repeated. The original recipe was taken from dessertzhouse but it called for higher ingredients quantity. Since it was my first attempt and I was not brave enough to go for such a big loaf of cake. Thus I reduced the quantity as indicated below.

(makes 7" cheesecake)-springform pan

Ingredients - Base:

14 oreos

70g butter (melted)

Ingredients - Filling:

14 oreos ( note: do not crush too fine, it should be crumbly texture)

5g gelatin crystals

4 Tbsp water

250g cream cheese (softened)

35g sugar

200g whipping cream ( I used emborg, can use paul's thickened cream also)

Method - Base:

Preparation: Line the  7" cake pan with film wrap.

Using a ziploc bag and a rolling pin, crush the oreos. 

Mix the crushed oreos and melted butter together until it reaches the wet sand consistency.

With the back of a spoon, press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake tin and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Method - Filling:

Using the same ziploc bag and rolling pin, crush the oreos.

Sprinkle the gelatine into the water and set aside.

Beat the cream cheese till fluffy/ smooth ( about 3 minutes), then add  sugar and beat till smooth, lastly pour whipping cream and beat till until smooth and creamy.

Put the gelatine mixture over some hot water and stir until dissolved. Pour into the cheesecake batter and blend well with electric mixer. 

Fold in the crushed oreos.

Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared tin and drop the cheesecake a few times so there are no air bubbles trapped inside.

Decorate the cheesecake with the remaining oreos. Chill for at least 4 hours or until set.
