Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 24 oreos - divided i.e. filling and cookies split up + minis for decoration
  • 5 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 3 packages plain cream cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • .75 cup of sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 T chocolate sauce

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Take about 16 of the divided cookies (so you should have 32 "halves"), put them into a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Pour the cookie crumbs into a springform pan, add melted butter, and press into the bottomto form cookie crust.
  • Beat cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice on medium speed in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add one egg at a time and mix well to combine. You want a fairly light looking filling.
  • Add in the remaining oreo cookies - and some of the oreo filling, if desired. Crush them with your hand and fold into the filling.
  • Pour filling in the prepared pan, over the cookie crust. Smooth out top. Add chocolate sauce on top and swirl with a toothpick to create a marble effect. Add mini oreos for decoration, if desired.
  • Bake for 45 minutes until just set in the middle. Turn off the oven, crack open the oven door a little, and leave the cheesecake to cool for about 2 hours. Refrigerate overnight (or at least for 3-4 hours) before serving.
