TO MAKE THE CRUST.Add the Oreos to a food processor and process until you have fine crumbs. Scoop the crumbs into a mixing bowl, and the melted butter, and mix until the crumbs are moistened.

Line the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper, scoop the mixture into the pan, and firmly press it down into one even layer. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill while you make the cheesecake filling.

TO MAKE THE CHEESECAKE:
Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Pour the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl. Start mixing on low speed, then increase the speed to medium-high until the mixture thickens and stiff peaks form. Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold it in or mix it in on low speed with your mixer until just combined. Then, fold in the chopped Oreos.

Remove the springform pan from the refrigerator, scoop the cheesecake filling onto the crust, and carefully spread it around into one even layer.

For topping, add the extra chopped Oreos on top and gently press them down a little.
