Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (for the base)
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup M&M candy (crushed)
For the Mint Cheesecake Layer:
2 cups cream cheese (softened)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Green food coloring (optional)
1 ½ cups crushed Oreos (for the cheesecake mix)
For the M&M Crunch Topping:
½ cup M&M candy
¼ cup crushed Oreo cookies
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Cake Base:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture into the base of the prepared cake pan, forming an even crust. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.
Make the Cake Batter:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, continuing to mix. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth.
Pour the cake batter over the cooled Oreo crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crushed M&M candy over the batter.
Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
Prepare the Mint Cheesecake Layer:
Beat the softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add in the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract. Continue mixing until well combined and fluffy.
If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to achieve a minty green color. Fold in the crushed Oreos gently.
Spread the cheesecake mixture over the cooled cake, creating an even layer. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake layer to set.
Prepare the M&M Crunch Topping:
In a small bowl, combine the M&M candy, crushed Oreos, and optional chocolate chips. Sprinkle this mixture over the chilled cheesecake layer for a crunchy topping.
Serve and Enjoy:
Slice the Mint Oreo Cheesecake Bliss Cake into portions, serve, and enjoy this indulgent dessert with friends and family.
