Crust:
15 Oreos (for the crust)
2 ½ tablespoons melted butter
Filling:
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
⅔ cup sugar
⅔ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 chopped Oreos (for the filling)
Optional Topping:
Chocolate ganache made from dark chocolate chips and heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a springform pan with parchment paper and wrap the outside with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
In a food processor, crush the Oreos for the crust. Mix with melted butter, then press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Lower the oven temperature to 325°F. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, eggs, sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in chopped Oreos and pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
Place the springform pan into a larger roasting pan and add hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake for 75 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but slightly wobbly in the center.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool gradually with the door slightly ajar.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, top with optional chocolate ganache.
Fruit Topping: Add fresh berries or fruit compote on top for a refreshing contrast.
Nut Crust: Add crushed nuts like pecans or walnuts to the Oreo crust for extra crunch.
No Ganache: Skip the ganache for a simpler version or dust the top with cocoa powder.
