Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 8 ounces oreo cookies, crushed; 8 tablespoons butter (one stick); 16 ounces cream cheese, softened; 1/2 cup sugar; 1 3/4 cups heavy cream; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin, unflavored; 1/2 cup boiling water; 1 cup strawberries, plus more to garnish

1
Combine crushed cookies with melted butter. You can crush them using a food processor or put them in a Ziploc bag and roll over with rolling pin until finely crushed. Line an 8-inch springform with wax or parchment paper. Press Oreo mixture on the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate.
2
In the meantime, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar, heavy cream, vanilla and lemon juice. Mix well.
3
In a small bowl, pour boiling water over gelatin. Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let cool slightly. If it cools too much and it hardens, microwave for 15-20 seconds. Do not boil.
4
Meanwhile, if using, remove stems from strawberries and slice. Line the side of the springform with strawberry slices.
5
Gradually beat in gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Pour over the Oreo crust and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
6
Gently remove the rim of the springform. Run a knife alongside the rim first, then using a kitchen torch or a hot towel warm up the sides a bit and release it.
7
Decorate the cake as desired. Keep refrigerated.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
