Oreo Cheesecake

For the cheesecake lab, me and my partner decided to make an Oreo Cheesecake using a spring-form pan, which made it easier to take the cake out, and still had that cake shape.

We started off by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. My partner and I then took out 28 cookies and crushed them in the grinder that was attached to the Kitchen Aid. While my partner was watching that, I had to chop the extra Oreo's in the package that we used for the inside of the cake. Once all the cookies were crushed, we mixed them in a bowl with melted butter for the bottom crust of the cake. After it was mixed, we pressed the mixture to the bottom of the pan and spread it using plastic wrap. 

Now we had to beat the cream cheese. We put 3 packages of cream cheese and a cup of sugar in the Kitchen Aid and beat till it was creamy. After that, we added sour cream and vanilla and mixed it till well blended. One egg at a time we had to crack and add it to the mixture and beat it on low speed until blended. Once all the eggs were added, we stirred in the chopped up cookies. 

Finally, after that was all blended well, we poured it into the crust and put the cake on a cookie sheet in a layer of water and baked for 35 minutes. Once it was baked, we had to put it in the refrigerator to cool overnight. The next day, I removed the spring-form pan and started cutting up my cake. The pieces had to be thin, because the recipe called for 16 slices! The cake was very creamy and had a very smooth and chewy texture because of the Oreo's. Overall, the cake went very well and I would definitely recommend doing this recipe again.
