🧂 Ingredients

• 3 cups Oreo cookies

  (use 36 Oreo cookies per cheesecake crust)
• 6 tablespoon butter

  (melted)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 16 oz cream cheese

  (2 8-ounce blocks, softened at room temperature)
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar

  (packed light brown sugar, or dark brown sugar)
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• 1 Spray a thin layer of non-stick cooking oil in a 9-inch springform pan.
• 2 Place Oreo cookies into a blender or food processor (or large plastic storage
  bag), then pulse until cookies are finely ground (or crush cookies with a
  rolling pin or meat mallet).
• 3 Transfer Oreo crumbs into a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter until the
  mixture is well combined.
• 4 Pour the mixture into your 9-inch springform and pack the crumbs into the bottom
  and sides of the pan tightly in an even layer.
• 5 Place the packed Oreo cookie crust into the refrigerator for 30 minutes or the
  freezer for 10 minutes to chill while you prepare the filling.
• 6 Add the heavy whipping cream to a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer on medium
  speed to whip the cream into stiff peaks. Set aside.
• 7 Add the cream cheese into a separate mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer on
  medium speed until it is smooth and creamy.
• 8 Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and confectioner's sugar and mix thoroughly.
  Then add vanilla extract, salt, and pumpkin pie spice and mix until there are no
  large clumps present and the mixture is creamy.
• 9 Use a spatula to slowly fold the whipped heavy cream into the filling. *Make
  sure to combine slowly and carefully to avoid deflating the air in the whipped
  cream.
• 10 Take the prepared crust out of the refrigerator or freezer and pour in the
  cheesecake filling. Use a spoon or spatula is smooth out the top. Cover the
  cheesecake with plastic wrap and place it into the refrigerator to chill for at
  least 8 hours or overnight.
• 11 Once the cheesecake has set, carefully remove the band from the springform pan,
  then slice and serve.
