This recipe I'm posting features Oreo cookies. Oreo cookies are sold in several of La Bella Baskets gift baskets.
Ingredients:
36 Oreo Cookies, divided
1/2 cup butter or margarine, divided
4 (8 ounce) packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup Breakstone's or Knudsen Sour Cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 eggs
4 squares Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
Directions:
1) Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line 13x9 inch baking pan with foil , with ends extending over sides of pan. Finely crush 24 cookies. Melt 1/4 cup butter; mix with crumbs. Press onto bottom of prepared pan.
2) Beat cream cheese and sugar with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each just until blended. Chop remaining cookies. Gently stir into batter; pour over crust.
3) Bake 45 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool. Meanwhile, microwave chocolate and remaining butter in microwavable bowl on HIGH 1 minute; stir until smooth. Cool slightly; spread over top of cheesecake. Refrigerate 4 hours. Use foil handles to lift cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve.
