Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 24 cookies 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 ounces 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature Choose high-quality cream cheese for a smoother texture.
  • 0.5 cup ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup 1 cup sour cream For a lighter option, use low-fat sour cream.
  • 12 cookies 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for baking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this crumbly mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, forming an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until fluffy, around 2 more minutes.
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add the sour cream to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined. Gently fold in the chopped Oreos with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
  7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. Don’t skip the cooling phase in the oven; it helps prevent cracks in your cheesecake. Consider adding chocolate ganache on top for an extra indulgent treat. For a fruity twist, layer some fresh berries before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
