Oreo Cheese Cake

Oreo Cheese Cake has been very popular lately and our son has been pestering me to bake one for him.    And here we go .....

Crust Ingredients:

20 Oreo biscuits, to be crushed in a blender

85 g melted butter

Filling Ingredients:

680 g Philadelphia Classic Cheese

3/4 cup sugar

6 eggs

85 g Schmand or sour cream

1 tsp vanilla essence

10 Oreo biscuits, to be coarsely crushed

Note: One will need to buy 3 packets of 176 g Oreo biscuits

Method:

Mix crust ingredients well together. Line the bottom of a 20 cm cake tin with pergament paper. Lightly grease the side of cake tin with butter. Add crust mixture into tin and press lightly with a tablespoon until a base is formed.

Note: One can also use a 24 or 26 cm cake tin but the height of the cake will be reduced.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the Philadelphia Cheese until smooth. Add in sugar and Schmand or sour cream. Mix well. Then, add in eggs one at a time and stir well. Add in vanilla essence and stir well again. Lastly, add in the crushed Oreo biscuits. Pour mixture into cake tin.

Bake in a preheated fan oven (170° C) for about 50 to 60 minutes or until done. The above photo shows the temperature as 160° C because this applies only to my oven. One has to make sure that the centre of the cake is also cooked before taking it out of the oven.

To decorate, pipe out whipped cream or butter cream florettes on top of cake and place a halved Oreo biscuit on it. Note: I didn't bother to do that because the cheese cake is sweet enough!

Bon Appetit!
