Instructions
- Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.

- Preheat oven to 325°F and position rack in center of oven.
- Pour cream cheese mixture over prepared Oreo crust, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes until center is slightly jiggly but not liquid.

- Refrigerate cheesecake for minimum 4 hours to set completely.

Notes
- Check the cream cheese temperature to ensure it’s at room temperature, which helps create a smoother, lump-free filling.
- Crush Oreos finely for a more compact and even crust that holds together perfectly.
- Avoid overmixing the batter after adding eggs to prevent air bubbles that can cause cracking during baking.
- Wrap the springform pan’s outside with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during the water bath baking method, which helps create a creamy texture.
