Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 24 cookies Oreo cookies (plus extra for topping) For topping and decor
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted To combine with the crushed cookies
For the filling
  • 4 packages (8 oz) cream cheese, softened Ensure at room temperature for smooth mixing
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Sweetness to balance the creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For additional flavor
  • 4 large eggs Should be room temperature
  • 2 cups sour cream Adds richness and tang
  • 12 cookies crushed Oreo cookies Adds cookie flavor to the filling

Method
 

Preparation of the crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Crush 24 Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or a zip-lock bag with a rolling pin.
  3. Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until combined.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  5. Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
Making the filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the sugar and mix until fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the vanilla and then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.
  4. Gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
  5. Gently stir in the 12 crushed Oreo cookies into the filling.
Baking
  1. Pour the filling over the crust.
  2. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is set and slightly jiggles.
  3. The edges will look firm, and the center will firm up as it cools.
Cooling and serving
  1. Once done, let it sit at room temperature for about an hour.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Top with remaining crushed Oreos and whipped cream before slicing and serving.

Notes

Store leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container for 5-7 days in the refrigerator. The cheesecake can also be frozen for up to 3 months—slice first for easy serving.
