CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE WITH OREO COOKIE CRUST
No need to bake it in a water bath, it bakes out beautifully! This can also be baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, but baking times vary slightly, just prepare as stated only bake for 20 minutes in a 300°F oven, remove and cover loosely with foil and return to oven to bake for another 20-30 minutes, if you don't have any mini chocolate chips just use the regular-size, for a less sweeter filling use only 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup sugar) prep time includes chilling time.

OREO COOKIE CRUST
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the Oreo cookies and cinnamon in a food processor (see page xviii) and pulse them together until they are ground down into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, mix together the crumbs and melted butter, using a fork to combine. Add and incorporate the milk, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stopping when the crumbs are moist enough to mold into a pie shell (this may take only 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk to accomplish).
- Spread the Oreo crust mixture evenly across the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate so that it covers the entire dish. There should be no gaps in the crust. Bake for 5 minutes. Cool the pie shell for 30 minutes before adding your desired pie filling.
Tips:
- For a creamier filling, use a mixture of cream cheese and butter.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the Oreo cookies in a resealable bag using a rolling pin.
- Be sure to chill the crust for at least 30 minutes before filling it.
- For a no-bake cheesecake, use a graham cracker crust instead of an Oreo cookie crust.
- To make the cheesecake ahead of time, bake it and then let it cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Oreo cookie crust is a delicious and versatile dessert option that can be used for a variety of recipes. Whether you're making a cheesecake, pie, or tart, an Oreo cookie crust is sure to please everyone at your table. With its rich chocolate flavor and crumbly texture, Oreo cookie crust is a classic dessert that will never go out of style.
