Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (plus 4 for garnish)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar until well combined.
- Add the Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until the filling is creamy.
- Pour the Filling: Pour the mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake for 50 minutes or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let cool for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Garnish with crushed Oreos and slice into 12 portions.
