1. Start by crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this using a food processor or by placing the cookies in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
2. Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Combine the melted butter with approximately 200 grams of the cookie crumbs to form a sandy mixture. Set the remaining 100 grams of crumbs aside for layering and topping.
3. Press the butter-cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) round or square dish to form an even crust. Place this in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined, creating a light and fluffy filling.
6. Spread half of the cream filling evenly over the chilled cookie crust. Sprinkle half of the remaining cookie crumbs on top of the filling to create a layer.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining cream filling and cookie crumbs, spreading and layering evenly.
8. If desired, garnish the top with chocolate shavings or additional crushed cookies for an extra special touch.
9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
10. Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Cookies and Cream Dessert!
