Cookie Monster Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the crust:

• 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 20 Oreos, crushed)

• 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

• 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 3 large eggs

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• Blue food coloring (gel works best)

• 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (for folding in)

For topping (optional):

• Whole Oreo cookies

• Blue frosting or whipped cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

   • Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter until combined.

   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

   • Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool while you make the filling.

2. Make the cheesecake filling:

   • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

   • Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat until creamy.

   • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

   • Mix in sour cream.

   • Add blue food coloring a little at a time until you get a bright “Cookie Monster” blue.

   • Gently fold in the crushed Oreo pieces.

3. Bake:

   • Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.

   • Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles.

   • Turn off oven, crack oven door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

4. Chill:

   • Remove cheesecake from oven and cool to room temperature.

   • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

5. Decorate and serve:

   • Before serving, decorate the top with whole Oreos or cookie crumbles.

   • Add some blue frosting or whipped cream for extra Cookie Monster vibes!
