Ingredients:

– 2 cups cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup sour cream
– Pinch of salt
– Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
For the Oreo Cookie Crust:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Crush 18 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
4. Press the Oreo cookie mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create an even crust.
For the Oreo Cheesecake Filling:
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Gently fold in 6 crushed Oreo cookies into the cheesecake batter.
6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the Oreo cookie crust in the springform pan.
Baking the Oreo Cheesecake:
1. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential leaks.
2. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
3. Turn off the oven, leave the oven door slightly ajar, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour.
4. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
5. Once cooled, refrigerate the Oreo Cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to firm up.
