Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies), divided
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 24 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2/3 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the crust: In a small bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of the cookie crumbs with the melted butter. Press the cookie mixture evenly over the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake for 6 minutes then remove from oven and set aside.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl add the cream cheese and sugar. Cream together until light and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Beat on low for 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and beat on low for an additional minutes. Evenly spread the batter over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreo over the top of the batter.
- Bake the cheesecake: Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake has an internal temperature is 150 degrees F. Remove from the oven, run a knife around the edge and cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Cover and refrigerate: over with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- A digital thermometer is a lifesaver in the kitchen. The cheesecake is ready when the internal temperature is 150 degrees F. It will be perfectly baked to a smooth, creamy and velvety perfection. Start checking the temp about 10 minutes before the end of the suggested baking time.
- You can enjoy the cheesecake while it is warm but, it will be more difficult to slice into beautiful pieces. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temp on a cooling rack. Then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about 3 to 4 hours to set and firm.
