Ingredients:

For the filling
- 200 g (¾ cup) cream cheese
- 250 g (1 cup) Greek yogurt, plain
- 200 g (¾ cup + 1 tbsp) heavy cream
- 50 g (½ cup) powdered sugar

- 1 packet agar agar or 1 sheet gelatin
For the ganache
- 100 g (⅔ cup) dark chocolate
- 80 g (⅓ cup) heavy cream
For decoration

Directions:
1. Prepare the base
- Crush the Oreos (with filling) in a food processor or blender until fine.
- Mix in the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 20 cm (8-inch) springform pan.
- Chill in the refrigerator while making the filling.
2. Make the filling
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture.
- Prepare the agar agar or gelatin according to package instructions, then stir into the filling mixture.
- Pour the filling over the Oreo crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
3. Prepare the ganache
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
- Pour over the dark chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
