Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Now, I like to prepare the crust first by mixing the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until it’s combined perfectly. Press this mixture into the bottom of your greased cake pans to create a sturdy base for our cheesecake. While that bakes, I whip together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s smooth. Then, I add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. The smell of vanilla and cream cheese filling the air is truly delightful! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
