Crust
- 2 ½ cups (335g) Golden Oreo cookie crumbs (about 28 Oreos)
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles
- 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter (melted)
Filling
- 24 ounces (678g) cream cheese (room temperature)
- ½ cup (104g) sugar
- 3 tablespoons (43g) sour cream
- ½ cup (65g) Funfetti cake mix
- 8 ounces white chocolate (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) heavy whipping cream (cold)
- ¾ cup (86g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons sprinkles
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream (cold)
- ½ cup (58g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Make the crust: Line a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper on the bottom and grease the sides to prevent sticking. Combine the Golden Oreo cookie crumbs, sprinkles, and melted butter in a small bowl until mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the springform pan to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and well combined. Add the sour cream and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the Funfetti cake mix until evenly mixed with no lumps.
- Add white chocolate: Slowly add the melted white chocolate in two increments, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency. Set this mixture aside temporarily.
- Whip the cream for filling: In a separate large bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two parts, ensuring a light, airy filling. Fold in the sprinkles carefully to distribute them without deflating the mixture.
- Assemble cheesecake: Pour the filling onto the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake until firm, approximately 5-6 hours or overnight for best results.
- Make the whipped cream topping: In a clean large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will be used as a decorative topping for the cheesecake.
- Decorate and serve: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate. Using a piping bag fitted with Ateco tip 844 or your preferred tip, pipe the whipped cream around the edges of the cheesecake. Sprinkle additional sprinkles over the top for a fun, colorful finish. Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It is best enjoyed within 4-5 days.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Chilling the crust before adding the filling helps it hold its shape better.
- You can substitute Golden Oreos with regular Oreos if you prefer a chocolate crust.
- Use cold heavy whipping cream to achieve stiff peaks more easily.
- Allow the white chocolate to cool slightly before mixing to prevent melting the cream cheese mixture.
- For a more intense vanilla flavor, consider adding a bit more vanilla extract to the filling or topping.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, you can spread the whipped cream topping with a spatula.
- Keep the cheesecake refrigerated at all times until serving to maintain its texture and freshness.
