Betty's Oreo Cheesecake (Similar to The Cheesecake Factory)

Betty demonstrates how to make Oreo Cheesecake. This cheesecake is similar to the Oreo Cheesecake served at The Cheesecake Factory restaurant.

Oreo Cheesecake

1 ½ cups very fine Oreo cookie crumbs (I made mine using a food processor.)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 ½ pounds cream cheese, softened (I used full-fat cream cheese for best results.)
1 cup sugar
5 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup flour
8 ounces sour cream
5 Oreo cookies, for batter (Chop these very coarsely, pulsing only once or twice with a food processor.)
10 (or more) Oreo cookies, for the top of the cheesecake. (Chop these very coarsely, pulsing only once or twice with a food processor.)

Mix 1 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 ½-inch springform pan. Cover bottom and ½-inch up the sides with crumbs. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, beat 1 ½ pounds cream cheese until light and fluffy, using a mixer on medium speed. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, continuing to beating until mixture is well combined. Add 5 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and ¼ cup flour into cream cheese and egg mixture. Blend in 8 ounces sour cream. Turn off the mixer, and with a spatula, gently fold in the 5 coarsely chopped Oreo cookies. Pour mixture into springform pan. Top with 10 (or more) coarsely chopped Oreo cookies. Place pan on center rack of a 325-degree (F) oven. Bake for 75 minutes. Turn off the oven, prop the door open several inches, and let the cheesecake stay in the oven for 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack. When cool, refrigerate. This cake is dramatic and delicious; I hope you enjoy it! --Betty ♥♥♥♥♥
