Ingredients

For the Oreo crust:

24 Oreo cookies
5 tablespoons melted butter

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
10 crushed Oreos (for folding into batter)

For topping (optional):

Extra crushed Oreos
Chocolate drizzle or ganache

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
Make the crust: In a food processor, blend the Oreos until fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until fully coated. Press into the bottom of your prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, then fold in sour cream.
Add crushed Oreos: Gently fold in the crushed Oreos into your cheesecake batter. Pour over the cooled crust and smooth out the top.
Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is only slightly jiggly. Let cool to room temperature.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Slice & serve: Lift out using parchment overhang. Slice into bars and top with more Oreos or drizzle, if desired.

Tips for Success

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
Don’t overmix once the eggs are in—the more you mix, the more air, which can cause cracks.
Chill thoroughly before slicing to get clean edges and perfect texture.
