Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • 24 cookies Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons Butter, melted

Filling Ingredients

  • 3 packages Cream cheese, softened 8 ounces each
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Kahlua coffee liqueur

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
  • Step 2: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, then remove it and allow it to cool slightly.
  • Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix well. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
  • Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
  • Step 5: Add the sour cream and Kahlua, mixing gently until completely blended and smooth.
  • Step 6: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  • Step 7: Bake the cheesecake for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
  • Step 8: Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature. Consider using a water bath for baking to keep the cheesecake moist.
