Oreo CheeseCake

so this blog has become unBEARably boring (like the pun, huh? huh? teehee) so the terrorrist polar bear has hijacked it again to post my newest (by new i mean like 8 months old) recipe which has always been a favourite of mine - oreo cheesecake !
it all began when wilson told me about nat baking the best oreo cheesecake ever and this got me thinking about oreo cheesecakes.. so i tried my hand at baking it.

it tasted pretty damn good if you ask me, but why do i natter on? recipe below ! with one measly photo just because i didn't take any photos :(

Oreo Cheesecake



3 - 4 cups Oreo Cookie crumbs
3 tbsp butter, melted

3 pkgs. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz.) Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 TBS flour
3 large eggs
1 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
20 Oreo Cookies, quartered
Oreo cookies for garnish if desired

  1. Preheat oven to 300° F. Grease 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Fill an oven safe cake pan (I use a 9×9) 3/4 full with warm water. Set on bottom oven rack while oven is preheating.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Oreo crumbs and butter, stir to combine. Press onto bottom and 1 inch up side of prepared pan.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and increase oven temperature to 350.
  5. In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese until creamy. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add sugar and flour, beat to combine. Add eggs one at a time beating only to combine after each addition. When adding the third egg, also add the lime juice and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 50-65 minutes or until edge is set and centre moves slightly. Watch carefully and do not overbake.
  7. Shut oven off and allow cheesecake to cool in oven for 1-4 hours. Run a warm knife around edge of cheesecake after 1 hour.
  8. Place in fridge to cool completely. Allow to chill at least 24 hours before serving for best flavor and texture.

Using a spatula, gently fold in the quartered Oreo cookies. Gently pour batter evenly into prebaked crust.
*You can arrange Oreo cookie pieces over top of batter for a pretty presentation if desired.

So that's it for now.. more post when I'm free ! quite possibly a post on how to make the awesomest sweet corn or durian or green tea icecream coz i just bought an ice cream maker and ice creams are fun !

may the force be with strawbunny! cheers
