Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake
Source of Recipe
Cream Cheese or Sour Cream
List of Ingredients
20 oz chocolate sandwich cookies (oreos)
1/3 c margarine -- melted
32 oz cream cheese -- cut in chunks
1 c sugar
1/3 c whipping cream
6 large eggs
2 T flour
2 t vanilla
Recipe
In a food processor, whirl half of cookies, including filling, until
they form fine crumbs; mix in butter. Scoop crumbs into a 9" spring-
form pan and press crumbs evenly over bottom of pan and about 1/2"
up sides. Chill crust until firm, about 20 min. In food processor,
whirl or beat the cream cheese, sugar and whipping cream at med-speed
until smooth. Add eggs, flour and vanilla; whirl or beat again to
blend.
Pour 1/2 of cream cheese mixture over chilled crust. Break remaining
cookies in half and scatter over mixture, overlapping cookies, if
necessary, to use all. Pour remaining mixture over cookies. (If you
whirl cream cheese mixture in a food processor, filling will be thin
enough to allow cookies to float to top during baking. If prepared in
electric mixer, filling will keep cookies in place.) Bake cake 300
degrees F. for 1 hour and 20 min. Take cake from oven and let cool on
a rack. Cover and chill until cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, run a knife between cake and pan sides; remove rim.
Cut cheesecake into slender wedges to serve.
The next time I make these, I plan to make the filling with a mixer
and PLAN the placement of the broken cookies to make a decorative
cheesecake.
