Oreo Cheesecake

I was browsing around and i saw this lovely cheesecake recipe and i thought to myself i should really give it a try for it has been a while that i wanna bake my very first cheesecake but didn't come across any recipe that i fancy until now..i couldn't help but be so drawn to the combination of oreo and cheese! If you love both of the main ingredients, you would definitely love this!

Ingredients

Base

* 160g digestive biscuits

* 160g oreo biscuits

* 1/4 cup melted butter

Method:

1) Crush both the digestive and oreo biscuits together.

2) Melt the butter and pour over the crushed biscuits and press it neatly onto the baking pan. Set aside.

3) Wrap the baking pan in a double layer of aluminium foil.

Note:

Springform or loose base pan is recommended for easy handling.

If you like , you can replace the digestive with pure oreo base.

Make sure you really compress the base when you pressed the crushed oreos/digestive into the baking pan to create a nice base after baking.

Filling

* 910g cream cheese, softened

* 11/3 cups sugar

* 1/2 tsp salt

* 2 tsp vanila

* 11/3 cup sour cream

* 4 eggs

* 11/2 cups crushed oreos

Method:

1) Beat the softened cream cheese..

2) With the mixture still running, add sugar, salt and vanilla and continue mixing.
3) Once its all nicely mixed, pour in the sour cream and mix it thoroughly.

4) Put in the eggs.

5) Pour in the crushed oreos and stir thoroughly and pour it into the pan.

6) Sprinkle some more crushed oreos on the top if desired.

7) Find a roasting pan that you can fit your baking pan in and fill up the roastin pan with boiling water halfway up the baking pan.

8) Bake in a preheated over at 165 degree C for 1hr and 30mins in a 9inch springform/loose base pan.

9) After baking, allow the cheesecake to luxuriate in its water bath.

10) Remove from the oven and let it cool before popping it into the fridge. Refrigerate for bout 4 hours, preferably overnight before serving.

Note:

Since i dont have a 9in springform , i used a 8in loose base baking pan.

I've also added 15mins to the baking time, my cheesecake turn out great but for the next round, i'm might just gonna bake the cake for 1hr 30mins in a 8in loose base pan.

The measurement for the cheese cream mixture above is enough to make two 8in size cheesecake, but of course you'll need to double the measurement for the base. The base was slighty thicker than the usual ones. If you like a thinner base then you can split the measurement of the base into to.

I've also reduced the crushed oreos in the filling to perhaps about 1/2 cup or slightly more

EDIT:

I've tried another batch of oreo cheesecake , this time around i added some coffee to the base and i baked for 1hr 35mins in a 8in loose base pan. The hint of coffee in the base perfected the combination
