Ingredients
Chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreo)
18 ounces (Divided: half coarsely chopped, half finely crushed)
Butter
1/4 cup (Melted)
Cream cheese
24 ounces (Softened (3 packages))
Sugar
3/4 cup
Eggs
3
Sour cream
16 ounces
Flour
2 tablespoons
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Hot fudge
11.75 ounces (Jar, heated before serving)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2
To prepare the crust, coarsely chop half the Oreo cookies and set aside.
3
Finely crush the remaining cookies in a food processor. Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until combined.
4
Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Note that non-stick pans do not require greasing due to the butter content in the crust.
5
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 4 to 5 minutes to set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
6
For the filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
7
Gradually add the sugar, mixing until creamy and well-blended.
8
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the sour cream, flour, and vanilla extract. Continue to blend until everything is combined.
9
Gently fold in the coarsely chopped Oreo cookies by hand, ensuring even distribution.
10
Pour the creamy cheesecake batter into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
11
Bake in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should still jiggle slightly when you take it out—avoid overbaking to keep the cheesecake creamy.
12
Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or better yet, let it chill overnight.
13
When ready to serve, heat the hot fudge in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until warm and pourable.
14
Cut the cheesecake while it's cold using a hot knife (wiping in between cuts) for clean slices. Spoon the warm hot fudge generously over each slice before serving.
15
For a fun twist, substitute malted milk balls or Milky Way bites in place of the Oreo cookies in the filling.
