Oreo Cheesecake

 

I've made this dessert a couple time before and everyone that has tried it has fell in

love. It's the perfect combination! If you love oreos and love cheesecake, I can

guarantee you will fall in love with these Oreo Cheesecake bars! They are perfect for

putting out at a party dessert table, but they also work for just relaxing at home on

a sunday. The crust gives it the perfect crunch, and the cheesecake and oreo combo just melts in your mouth!

Ingredients:

Crust:

25 whole oreos

2 tbsp of melted unsalted butter

Cheesecake:

12 oz cream cheese

6 tbsp sugar

6 tbsp sour cream

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp salt

1 large whole egg

1 egg yolk

12 whole oreo cookies

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a 8x8 inch glass dish with foil. Let two sides of the foil hang over on the baking dish so it's easier to pull out the cheesecake
2. For the crust, in a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they're  ground. Add in the melted butter and pulse until the cookies are moistened.
3. Transfer the Oreos to the prepared baking pan and press the crumbs in an even layer over the bottom of the pan. Bake crust for 10 minutes then set aside.
4. Beat cream cheese on medium high until light and smooth, about 2 minutes. Then mix in the sugar until combined.
5. Blend in the sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Then beat in the egg and egg yolk.
6. Gently stir in the chopped Oreos.
7. Pour cheesecake batter over the crust. Bake for 40 minutes, or until cheesecake is set around the edges but slightly wobbly in the center.
8. Let cheesecake cool to room temperature for 1 hour then cover the pan and refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours I usually chill mine overnight.
9. To cut the bars place it on a cutting board. Peel away the foil and slice into bars. Clean the knife blade after each slice to keep the edges nice and neat.
10. Keep in fridge until ready to serve.
