Ingredients

Scale

Crust

24 Golden Oreo cookies
5 tablespoons melted butter (use vegan butter if desired)

Filling

3 8 oz blocks cream cheese, softened (or vegan cream cheese)
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (use vegan substitute if needed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
1 1/2 cups whipped cream (or vegan whipped topping)
10 Golden Oreo cookies, chopped
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles (vegan if needed)

Decoration

1 1/2 cups whipped cream (or vegan whipped topping)
8 Golden Oreo cookies
Extra rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

Make the Golden Oreo Crust: Crush the 24 Golden Oreo cookies, including the cream filling, into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Stir in the melted butter until all crumbs are fully coated with butter, then press this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, pie plate, or square pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Make the Funfetti Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, then continue beating until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped cream to lighten the mixture, then fold in the chopped Golden Oreo cookies and rainbow sprinkles to distribute evenly.
Assemble and Chill: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface. Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to firm up and set properly.
Decorate the Cheesecake: After the cheesecake is fully chilled and firm, carefully release it from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Decorate by spreading or piping the additional whipped cream around the top edge. Garnish with the remaining 8 Golden Oreo cookies and sprinkle extra rainbow sprinkles over the top for a festive finish.
Serve: Slice the cheesecake into portions and serve chilled, enjoying a creamy, colorful, and celebratory dessert.

Notes

Use vegan cream cheese, vegan butter, vegan sour cream/yogurt, and vegan whipped topping for a fully vegan option.
Press the crust firmly into the pan to ensure it holds together well when sliced.
Chilling the cheesecake overnight is recommended for best texture and flavor.
Rainbow sprinkles can be substituted with other decorative sprinkles depending on your preference or occasion.
This cheesecake is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated until serving.
