Instructions
  1. In a food processer or blender, thoroughly crush the Oreo cookies until fine. We will be keeping the centers of the cookie in the cookies as we crush them.
  2. Place the crushed cookies in a bowl.
  3. Melt 1 stick of salted butter and add it to the crushed Oreo cookies. Thoroughly mix the butter and crushed Oreos together so that everything is evenly coated.
  4. Separate the crushed Oreos into two equal parts.
  5. In an 8 inch springform pan, add a paper liner to the bottom of the pan (not completely necessary) and add ½ of the Oreo cookie buttered crumbs to the pan. Make sure to evenly press and level the Oreo crumbs in the bottom of the pan.
  6. Place the pan in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes to chill while you mix the other ingredients.
  7. In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sugar, powdered sugar and vanilla and thoroughly mix with either a hand mixer or stationary mixer. Once completely mixed and smooth, set the mixture aside.
  8. Place the white chocolate almond bark in a microwave safe bowl and microwave the almond bark in 15 second intervals, stirring occasionally, until completely melted. Allow the melted chocolate to slightly cool before adding it to the cream cheese mix.
  9. In a separate bowl, add the ½ cup of heavy whipping cream and mix it with either a hand mixer or stationary mixer until the cream forms a firm mixture. The mixture will approximately double in volume when it’s done.
  10. Add the thickened cream and melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and mix again until thoroughly smooth.
  11. Separate the cream cheese filling into two separate parts.
  12. Return ½ of the cream cheese filling to the mixing bowl and add the instant banana cream pudding to it. Thoroughly mix in the instant banana cream pudding with either a hand mixer or stationary mixer until smooth.
  13. Remove the springform pan from the freezer and pour the banana cream cheesecake mixture on top of the Oreo crust. Evenly spread the cheesecake out in the pan and then drop the pan a couple of times so that everything evens out. Place the cheesecake into the freezer for 30 minutes to allow it semi-set. We will need it firm to add the middle Oreo layer to the cheesecake.
  14. After 30 minutes, remove the cheesecake from the freezer and top the cheesecake with the remaining ½ of the Oreo crumb mixture. As done before, make sure to evenly press and level the Oreo crumbs on top of the banana cream cheesecake.
  15. Return the cheesecake to the freezer for another 30 minutes.
  16. Quarter two cups of strawberries and add them to a medium sized bowl. Add ¼ cup of sugar to the strawberries and mix together. Be sure to even coat the strawberries. Once mixed, set the strawberries aside.
  17. Return the remaining ½ of the cream cheese filling to the mixing bowl and add the instant strawberry Jell-O to it. Thoroughly mix with either a hand mixer or stationary mixer until smooth.
  18. Next add the sugar coated strawberries and any juice remaining in the bowl to the cheesecake mixture and stir in.
  19. Remove the cheesecake from the freezer. Pour the strawberry cheesecake into the pan and evenly spread it until the top is smooth.
  20. Top the cheesecake with ½ cup of mini chocolate morsels until the desired coating is reached and lightly press the morsels into the cheesecake. Next lightly drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the cheesecake.
  21. Return the cheesecake to the freezer for 3+ hours.
  22. Before serving, allow the cheesecake to thaw in the refrigerator.
  23. For fun, top each cut piece of cheesecake with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and top with whipped cream and a cherry for fun!
  24. ENJOY!
