Ingredients
Oreo Base:
30 Oreo cookies, broken into rough pieces
7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
2 x 8oz packs full-fat cream cheese
1 cup confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar)
1 tsp vanilla
¾ cup heavy cream
12 Oreo cookies, roughly broken up
Cherry topping:
3 cups of whole, pitted cherries. These can be frozen, fresh or canned cherries that have been drained (discard the liquid as it’s too weak to add a good flavour to the cheesecake) – or even a mixture. I used half canned cherries and half fresh.
1/2 cup golden caster sugar (brown sugar)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp kirsch or cherry brandy (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 3 tbsp water
