Recipe Resume in Todd Wilbur’s Style:

This Oreo Cheesecake is the ultimate combination of creamy cheesecake and crunchy cookies, all layered on a rich, buttery Oreo crust. The filling is packed with chunks of Oreos, giving you that perfect cookies-and-cream flavor in every bite.

It’s easy to make, bakes up perfectly smooth, and is topped with even more crushed Oreos for that extra crunch. Whether you’re a cheesecake lover or an Oreo fanatic, this dessert is a must-try. One slice, and you’ll be hooked!

Exciting Story:

This cheesecake has a bit of a legendary status in our house. It all started when my husband, a self-proclaimed Oreo fanatic, begged me to make something special for his birthday. Regular cake? Too basic. Brownies? Not special enough. But when I pulled out this Oreo Cheesecake, his eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store.

Now, it’s become a tradition—every birthday, every celebration, even random weekends when we just need a little pick-me-up, this cheesecake makes an appearance. And let me tell you, it’s not just my husband who’s obsessed. The kids love helping crush the Oreos (and sneaking a few in the process), and every time we bring it to a party, people practically fight over the last slice.
