INGREDIENTS
- Servings: 12
- For crust:
- 25 Oreo cookies, processed to crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For filling:
- 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter and mix until blended.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan and 2/3 up the sides.
- Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the flour.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in the cream and vanilla.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared crust.
- Sprinkle with half of the chopped Oreo cookies.
- Pour the remaining batter on top and smooth with a spatula.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped Oreos.
- Put the pan on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 225°F and bake for 1 hour.
- Cool the cheesecake to room temperature on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate until well chilled.
- Note: I sometimes crush the 15 Oreos for the filling and just mix them right into the batter rather than sprinkling them in the middle.
