Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

CRUST:

4 tablespoons butter

--(not margarine) -- melted

2 cups Oreo cookies (about 18 Oreos) -- crushed fine

FILLING:

3 pounds cream cheese

2 3/4 cups granulated sugar

5 eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 cups Oreo cookies in chunks -- (about 15 cookies)

GARNISH: (optional)

12 ounces whipped cream

12 Oreo cookies

 

For Crust: Heat oven to 250 ° F. Wrap the outside of a 10x3-inch springform

pan tightly with foil (to prevent water from leaking in). Line the bottom with

a parchment circle. Set aside.

 

In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter and Oreo crumbs. Place in pan and

press down firmly and evenly. Bake at 250 ° F for 8-10 minutes. Remove from

oven; set aside to cool.

 

For Filling: Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl and mix on medium speed until

soft (6 to 8 minutes). Use a rubber spatula to scrape bowl often to ensure even

distribution.

 

Add sugar and blend well, scraping bowl just until smooth (no lumps). Reduce

mixing speed to low, then slowly add eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.

 

Remove from mixer. With a wooden spoon, stir Oreo chunks into batter. Pour

batter into pan prepared with crumb crust; place cheesecake pan into a large

roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with water, leaving 1 inch of space from the

top of the cheesecake pan. Bake in a preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until

top of cheesecake is slightly golden. Refrigerate at least 24 hours before

serving.

 

For Garnish: If desired, top each slice of cheesecake with 1 ounce of real

whipped cream and an Oreo cookie.
