Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Recipe 🍪

📌 Ingredients

• For the Crust:
• 20 Oreo cookies (crushed into crumbs)
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• For the Cheesecake:
• 2 lbs (32 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 12 Oreos, chopped into small pieces
• For the Topping:
• 4–5 Oreos (for decoration)
• White chocolate drizzle (melted)

🔥 Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

In a food processor or a ziplock bag, crush 20 Oreos into fine crumbs.

Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.

Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form a firm crust.

Bake the crust for about 10 minutes and then remove it from the oven. Let it cool completely while you prepare the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing each one thoroughly before adding the next.

Beat in the sour cream and heavy cream, then fold in 12 chopped Oreos.

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan.

Bake the Cheesecake:

Bake the cheesecake for about 55–60 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden.

Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool for an hour. This helps prevent cracking.

After an hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

Chill the Cheesecake:

Once the cheesecake has cooled, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Topping:

Before serving, crush the remaining Oreos into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the top of the cheesecake.

Drizzle with melted white chocolate for a gorgeous finish!

Serve and Enjoy:

Slice the cheesecake, serve chilled, and enjoy the creamy, sweet, and indulgent treat! 😍

🧑‍🍳 Pro Tip:For an extra creamy texture, make sure your cream cheese is softened completely before mixing. You can also add more crushed Oreos to the filling for extra cookie goodness!
