Hot Fudge Oreo Gourmet Cheesecake

I got this recipe from a local grocery store where i take cooking classes. i made this cheesecake a couple of days ago for a party and it was so easy and fast. people couldn't believe that it was homemade.

Steps

Crust: coarsely chop half of the cookies and set aside.

Finely crush the remaining cookies , add the butter , and mix.

Press firmly on bottom and about 1 1 / 2 inches up sides of 9-inch springform pan.

Pan , especially a non-stick pan , does not have to be greased since there is a lot of butter in the crust.

Bake crust at 325 degrees f for about 4 minutes to set it.

Filling: in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed , beat cream cheese a little.

Add sugar and beat until creamy.

Blend in eggs , sour cream , flour , and vanilla.

Fold in coarsely chopped cookies by hand.

Pour batter into prepared crust.

Bake in 325 degree f oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until set.

Cheesecake should still jiggle in the center when taken out of oven.

Do not overbake.

Cool at room temperature for 1 hour.

Refrigerate at least 4 hours , but better to make 1 to 2 days ahead.

Best way to cut a cheesecake is when it is very cold , using a hot knife , and cutting the entire cake before remo.
