Prepare the crust. Line the sides of a round 8 inch (20 cm) springform pan with acetate sheet and line the bottom of the pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Place the oreo cookies into the bowl of a food processor and crush until crumbs form. Add melted butter and mix until evenly moistened.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan using the back of a spoon. Refrigerate until the filling is prepared.
Prepare the filling. Place white chocolate and the 4 tbsp of cream into a heatproof bowl and place over a pan with simmering water. Melt over low heat. Let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl mix cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Mix in melted chocolate.
In another bowl mix whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate and cream cheese mixture.
Fold in about 10 broken oreo cookies. Don’t overmix.
Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust.
Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours or better overnight.
Before serving, decorate the cake with whipped cream, Oreo cookies, Oreo cookie crumbs and white chocolate shards if desired. Enjoy!
