OREO Cheesecake

OREO Cheesecake

I’ve wanted to make an OREO cheesecake for a long time, and after what feels like months, I finally did it. Not trying to brag, but it was probably the best cheesecake I have ever had! I will say, I was nervous taking off the spring form pan.

Now that the cake is finished, I am going to say the hardest part of this whole recipe is waiting the 20 hours for the cake to chill, but it is well worth it! Oh my goodness I can’t even explain how good it was!

This cookies and cream cheesecake has the perfect texture, which is very important in making a cheesecake for me. The chocolate chips over top the crust and the chocolate glaze gives it just the right amount of richness. Everyone that tried this cheesecake absolutely loved it. My mom said that for every holiday and big occasion I am to make this cheesecake; and I will, gladly!
