OREO® Cheesecake Recipe
- 1 (18 ounce) package OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 3 (8 ounce) packages PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 eggs
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F if using a 9-inch silver springform pan (or to 325 degrees F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Finely crush 30 of the cookies. Coarsely chop remaining 15 cookies; set aside. Mix crushed cookies with butter. Press firmly onto bottom and 2 inches up side of pan; set aside.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Gently stir in chopped cookies. Spread into prepared crust.
- Bake 55 minutes to 1 hour or until set. (If necessary to prevent top from overbrowning, tent with foil during last 15 to 20 minutes of baking time.) Cool completely on wire rack.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Run knife or metal spatula around side of pan to loosen cake; remove side of pan before serving.
