How To Make oreo cheesecake

• Step 1
  In a bowl mix the melted butter into the Oreo crumbs.
• Step 2
  Wrap the outside of 10 inch spring-form pan with aluminum foil, and butter the inside of the pan.
• Step 3
  Press the oreo crumbs into the bottom of the pan (optional: press the crumbs up the side an inch or so). Save the remaining crumbs for filling.
• Step 4
  Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Step 5
  All ingredients should be at room temperature before beginning.
• Step 6
  Keep mixer on low setting throughout the mixing process
• Step 7
  Beat the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy.
• Step 8
  Add the butter to the mixture.
• Step 9
  Gradually add sugar and continue beating until mixed through.
• Step 10
  Add the eggs one at a time and continue to beat until blended.
• Step 11
  Add the vanilla, salt, and flour; beat until smooth.
• Step 12
  Add the sour cream and beat well.
• Step 13
  Turn off the mixer and stir in 10-15 of the broken Oreos with a spoon and whatever is left over from the crust. You can also add some of the Oreo filling into the mixture if you want.
• Step 14
  Pour the mixture into the pan onto the previously prepared crust.
• Step 15
  Take the rest of the broken apart Oreos and place on top of the cheesecake.
• Step 16
  On a lower rack place a big shallow baking pan with water to keep in moisture or put the cheesecake in a water bath.
• Step 17
  Place the cheesecake onto the top rack and bake for 1 hour.
• Step 18
  After the hour check it by gently shaking the pan; if it jiggles slightly it is done. If it jiggles quite a bit leave it in for another 10 minutes and check again.
• Step 19
  After it is done baking turn off the oven and prop open the door. Let the cheesecake stay in the opened oven until the oven reaches room temperature.
• Step 20
  Take the cheesecake out and let it sit on the counter for at least another hour to cool some more.
• Step 21
  Place into the refrigerator and let cool for at least 24 hours; the longer you wait the better it is.
• 
  Step 22
  Cut into 12-16 slices (I usually do 16, it is a very rich cheesecake), then serve.
