Ingredients:
18 OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, finely crushed (about 1-1/2 cups)
2 tbsp. (1/4 stick/1 oz/28g) butter or margarine, melted
3 packages (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 package (8 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted, cooled slightly
3 eggs

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300°F/150°C if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Mix crushed cookies and butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan.

Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.

Bake 55 minutes to 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around side of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing side of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

Makes 12 servings.

Tip:
Dust entire surface of cooled cheesecake with cocoa powder using a wire mesh strainer. For a festive Valentine's Day garnish, create a heart shaped design by topping dusted cheesecake with heart-shaped stencil and sprinkling with confectioners' sugar.

I made this as my first cheesecake and it was delicious! All I was able to find here (in South America) was unsweetened chocolate so I added a bit more sugar. It turned out with a dark chocolate flavor and everyone raved about it! Next time I will try keeping the cream with the cookies for the crust to see what happens and decrease baking time a little. I think my pan is larger than a 9 in. so it was a tad crumbly, but still excellent!

Yummy.. I have made this over and over again because it's very easy. Also, I've tried it with other chocolate biscuits and it tastes good but it's definitely best with Oreos! (I can only get Oreos ocassionally in the smaller stores in Denmark).

I do believe you should remove the cream between the oreo cookies. However, your better grocery stores will have prepared crumbled oreo cookies. I have used that product with great success!

I first made this cake a year ago. Since then, my husband has requested it for every birthday, anniversary, etc. No other dessert will ever be good enough after this. About the Oreo crust, I have always left the cream in, and have had no problems. In fact, I think it helps keep the crust together. Also, I always make some raspberry sauce to go with this cake (frozen raspberries, sugar, lemon...) and that has been a huge success as well.

I did put some water in for steam and it is beautifully textured. I also substituted Girl Scout Thin Mints for the Oreos...WOW!
