We hadn't baked anything in class for a week or so, so to treat the 3rd years (freshman or Year 9's, depending upon in which country you live) my teacher, Miss K, decided we'd make Oreo Cheesecake. Well, technically she had planned for them to make Mandarin Cheesecake, but I couldn't help but notice that one of the other teachers was making Oreo Cheesecake with her class... So I pleaded, and we ordered Oreos for the students (plus enough for us two to make a cake each too ;) ).
It was surprisingly easy, and after crushing the biscuits and adding melted butter for the base, we whipped up cream cheese with double cream for the filling. Because Team Becca and I love Oreos so much, I crushed biscuits to put in the filling as well. The Team knew I would be making this cake in class, and had requested I decorate it as a smiley face for them. Miss K's more adult design is on the right there.
We managed to hold off digging in until after the children's dinner, then got a sharp knife and cut decent wedges for us each. And I have to say, it didn't disappoint. Rich, creamy, chocolately and crunchy - taste sensation heaven! As you can see, the Smarties faded in colour over the few hours between making and eating, and the whole cake didn't last too well over the next day or so.
