Oreo Cheesecake

This is a recipe I've taken form Kak Ummi Kuantan's blog HomeSweetHome. This is the second time I make this cheesecake using this recipe and it turned out well, just like before. The only thing is, my household is not that fancy of anything cheese, as they would find it quite 'heavy', 'luxurious', or simply put, 'too much'. You know what I'm saying right? Therefore, I always have to halve the recipe for anything cheese. So I only use a (250g) block of Philadelphia cream cheese for my version. I still baked mine in an 8-inch round pan, that's why my cheesecake turned out thin. Nevertheless, the taste is still divine!

The base:- (for an 8 inch pan)

• 300gm oreo cookies - cream removed
• 75gm melted butter

The Filling:-

• 500 gm cream cheese
• 110 gm caster sugar
• 1/2 tbsp vanilla essence
• 2 eggs
• 150ml whipping cream
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 20 oreo cookies (cream removed and broken into quarters)

Method:-

1. The Base : Process the cookies in a food processor until fine and mix with the melted butter. Pressed the mixture in a greased 8-inch springform pan. Bake for 15 mins at 160C. Let the base sit while you prepare the filling.
2. Filling:Beat the cream cheese and caster sugar until well-blended. Beat in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, followed by whipping cream and lemon juice.
3. Fold in the oreo pieces.
4. Pour filling onto the base. (I arrange whole pieces of oreos on top of the filling). Bake in a water bath at 150C for about 40-45 mins, depending on your oven. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in it with the oven door ajar for 1 hour.
5. Loosen the cake from the pan with a sharp knife, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least for 4 hours.
6. Remove the cheesecake from the pan and drizzle with melted chocolate if you like.
