Ingredients:
- 280g Oreo cookies, crushed
- 70g unsalted butter, melted
- 1g salt
- 900g full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 200g granulated sugar
- 240g full-fat sour cream, room temperature
- 5ml pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 140g Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
Instructions:
- Combine the crushed Oreo crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan using the base of a glass.
- Bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes to set the structure, then let it cool completely.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar on medium-low speed until smooth.
- Fold in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined. Stop mixing the moment the yellow streaks disappear.
- Gently fold in the chopped Oreo chunks.
- Wrap the outside of the springform pan in double-layered heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent water leaks.
- Place the pan in a large roasting pan and fill the outer pan with boiling water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 45 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
- Cool the cake inside the oven with the door ajar, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving.
