Cheesecake love

This Valentine's was very nice. Actually now that I think about it my boyfriend is very good about valentine's day. He always gets me flowers (which I know is a cliche but I love it) and takes me to dinner. i always try and think of something to get him. This year I decided to make a cheesecake. Not just any ordinary cheesecake but an OREO CHEESECAKE!! Holy Jeez um!!!


Ingredients:
Spring pan
5 eggs
sugar
flour
vanilla
sour cream
oreos
butter
cream cheese


First thing you need to do is get your spring pan and line it with parchment paper.

Then as the cream cheese is getting to room temperature you can make the crust. Put about 25-30 of the oreo's in a blender or bad or any other way you want to crush them to a pulp and add 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Should look like this.


Press into the pan


After that we can get to mixing the cream cheese. Don't get frustrated like I did, the cream cheese will stick and you are going to have to scrape down the sides at least 5 times. (By the time I was done with the first step I was talking to the mixer like I was Tony Soprano and he was the snitch..."You're going to work the way I want you to work or you see that window right there, you're going through it, YOU GOT ME MIXER??!!"



Then when the cream cheese get a little bit more softer you put in the cup of sugar.


After that is combined you can put in the 5 eggs, but make sure each one is combined before you put in the next one.


Then add some vanilla


Mix it some more

Then some flour. (don't really know what this is for but it was in the recipe)


Then some sour cream.

Mix it until creamy and it should be really creamy. Make sure you mix the sides and bottom to get all of the unmixed cream cheese into the rest of the mixture. I tasted it and wow was it good. I think it was the sour cream that made it good.


Just for some zing I added some oreo's in the batter.


Pour the mixture into the pan and bake

After about an hour and 15 mins it should look like this. Then turn the oven off and open the door for an hour.


Wow what happened? That thing is ugly!!! I don't know why but it sank so I decided to put some whip cream on it to make it pretty again.

The finished product. My boyfriend liked it, I kinda wish I had a bite before I gave it to him. Oh Well HAPPY EATING!!

  1. Just my opinion, but I don't think it matters that much that it "fell" some.
    Loved the Tony Soprano bit.
