Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.9 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 chocolate sandwich cookies roughly chopped

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 325F and foil-wrap a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Press the cookie crumbs and butter into the pan and bake 8 minutes, then cool.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and sugar smooth, then mix in the sour cream and vanilla.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time on low speed, then gently fold in the chopped cookies.
  5. Pour over the crust and bake in a water bath 55 to 60 minutes until just set.
  6. Cool an hour in the cracked oven, then refrigerate at least 6 hours.
  7. Top with extra crushed cookies before serving.

Notes

Fold the cookies in last so they stay in nice chunky pieces instead of dissolving.
