HOW TO MAKE OREO CREAMY DREAM CHEESECAKE
SERVINGS: 12 slices
PREP TIME: 25 minutes
BAKE TIME: 55 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
For the Crust:
– 24 Oreo cookies
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
– 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup sour cream
– 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
DIRECTIONS
1. First, preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Then, grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. For the crust, crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or inside a ziplock bag with a rolling pin. Following this, mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until it’s combined. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to develop the crust.
3. Now, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until you reach a smooth texture. Following this, add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time. After the eggs are well incorporated, fold in the sour cream and chopped Oreos until distributed evenly.
4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the flattened crust in the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for approximately 50-55 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
5. Let the cheesecake sit in the oven for an additional 10 minutes with the door ajar after turning off the oven.
6. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigeration for at least 4 hours or moonlit. Before serving, run a sharp knife around the edge of the cheesecake before releasing from the pan.

FAQs
Q: Can I use any other type of cookie for the crust and filling?
A: Yes, you could use chocolate chip cookies or other chocolate-based biscuits.
Q: Do I have to use a springform pan?
A: It’s highly recommended to use a springform pan for easy release of the cheesecake. If you don’t have one, line your regular baking pan with foil or parchment paper for easy lift.
Q: Why is my cheesecake middle sinking?
A: Don’t sweat it. Most likely, the cheesecake has been overbaked or cooled too quickly. Remember to let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven before moving to room temperature.
