cheese cake

Our cheese cake was probably my favorite thing that we have made because of its simplicity and it was good, also because we got to learn something new that we don't use very often which is the water bath.

Making the cheese cake we first started off by blending 4 blocks of cream cheese until it was very smooth and had no lumps so that it almost looked like frosting.

We then added our sugar and blended that, after that we added our eggs blended, and then moved onto adding our flavoring. We decided to use crushed Oreos and then we blended those in, while we were making that part of the cheese cake and allowing things to be blended we also made our crust.

To make the Oreo crust we used about 1.5 cups of our Oreo crumbs and combined that with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 4 tablespoons of melted butter.

We put parchment paper into the spring form pan and packed the crust down we then poured our cheese cake batter into the spring form pan on top of the crust after that we wrapped the pan in aluminum foil and placed it onto a cookie sheet with about two cups of water.

We placed the cheese cake in its water bath into the oven at 325 the cheese cake then cooked for 50-60 minuets once the cheese cake was done it was taken out of the oven and allowed to cool in the refrigerator over night so it could continue setting.

When it was done setting we sprinkled crushed Oreo crumbs onto the top of the cheese cake.

I really enjoyed the cheese cake because it remained moist but the crust and the crushed Oreos that we put not only in the cheese cake but also on the top gave it some crunch and more texture. The cheese cake remained sweet but not extremely sweet because of the cream cheese I would definitely use this recipe again because it turned out great and I have always really loved cheese cake.
