My kid’s favourite dessert ever. This cookies and cream cheesecake is simple to make, requires no cooking and is absolutely delicious.
I’m not going to lie, this is decadent. Oreos are up there with the most calorific cookies you can buy, but there’s good reason for that. Intensely chocolatey, they turn this creamy cheesecake into a very naughty, ultra delicious treat.
You can, of course, make this into a round traditional 20cm springform tin to make a round cheesecake, but it is very rich, so I like making it like a slice so we can cut smaller squares.
