Recipe View 10 mins Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition, just until incorporated. Gently stir in the coarsely chopped remaining Oreo cookies. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 1 hrs Bake the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared Oreo crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still has a slight jiggle. (60 minutes)

Recipe View 5 hrs Cool and chill: Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking. After 1 hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the rim of the pan to loosen the cake. Let it cool completely at room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. (5 hours)

Recipe View Serve and enjoy: Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and enjoy your delicious Oreo Cheesecake!
