How To Make oreo cheesecake

• 1

  In a bowl mix the melted butter into the Oreo crumbs.
• 2

  Wrap the outside of 10 inch spring-form pan with aluminum foil, and butter the inside of the pan.
• 3

  Press the oreo crumbs into the bottom of the pan (optional: press the crumbs up the side an inch or so). Save the remaining crumbs for filling.
• 4

  Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• 5

  All ingredients should be at room temperature before beginning.
• 6

  Keep mixer on low setting throughout the mixing process
• 7

  Beat the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy.
• 8

  Add the butter to the mixture.
• 9

  Gradually add sugar and continue beating until mixed through.
• 10

  Add the eggs one at a time and continue to beat until blended.
• 11

  Add the vanilla, salt, and flour; beat until smooth.
• 12

  Add the sour cream and beat well.
• 13

  Turn off the mixer and stir in 10-15 of the broken Oreos with a spoon and whatever is left over from the crust. You can also add some of the Oreo filling into the mixture if you want.
• 14

  Pour the mixture into the pan onto the previously prepared crust.
• 15

  Take the rest of the broken apart Oreos and place on top of the cheesecake.
• 16

  On a lower rack place a big shallow baking pan with water to keep in moisture or put the cheesecake in a water bath.
• 17

  Place the cheesecake onto the top rack and bake for 1 hour.
• 18

  After the hour check it by gently shaking the pan; if it jiggles slightly it is done. If it jiggles quite a bit leave it in for another 10 minutes and check again.
• 19

  After it is done baking turn off the oven and prop open the door. Let the cheesecake stay in the opened oven until the oven reaches room temperature.
• 20

  Take the cheesecake out and let it sit on the counter for at least another hour to cool some more.
• 21

  Place into the refrigerator and let cool for at least 24 hours; the longer you wait the better it is.

  Cut into 12-16 slices (I usually do 16, it is a very rich cheesecake), then serve.
