Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups greek yogurt, full fat, plain
- 14 ounces (396 grams) sweetened condensed milk, canned
Crust Ingredients:
- 28 golden oreo cookies, crushed
Topping Ingredients (Optional):
- 4 golden oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Crush golden Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs into a 9-inch (23-centimeter) pie dish, pressing firmly and evenly across the bottom and sides to create a compact, sturdy crust.
- In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Heat the yogurt mixture in the microwave, using 30-second intervals and stirring between each session to prevent uneven heating and promote consistent thickening.
- Continue microwaving and stirring until the mixture reaches a noticeably thicker consistency, approximately 2-3 minutes total.
- Carefully pour the thickened yogurt mixture over the prepared Oreo cookie crust, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to distribute evenly and create a level surface.
- Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and allow it to set completely, preferably overnight or for a minimum of 6-8 hours.
- Before serving, optionally garnish the chilled cheesecake with additional crushed golden Oreo cookies sprinkled across the top for added texture and visual appeal.
- Slice into wedges and serve chilled for a creamy, indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Crushing cookies releases their rich, buttery flavor, creating a perfect base for this creamy dessert.
- Microwaving the yogurt mixture requires patience and constant stirring to achieve a smooth, even texture.
- Condensed milk adds sweetness and helps stabilize the filling, preventing separation during chilling.
- Overnight refrigeration allows the cheesecake to set completely, enhancing its delicate, velvety consistency.
- Topping with crushed Oreos provides a delightful crunch and extra burst of cookie flavor before serving.
