What You Need

cup crushed OREO Cookies (about 12 cookies)

Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted

pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

cup sugar

tsp. vanilla

eggs

OREO Cookies, quartered

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 325°F if using a silver springform pan (or 300°F if using a dark nonstick springform pan). Mix crushed cookies and butter; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes.

BEAT cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Gently stir in quartered cookies. Pour over crust.

BAKE 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with additional cookies, if desired.

Rather than quartering the Oreos, I used Mini Oreos in the cake itself.

This was absolutely delicious! I used fat free cream cheese, Sugar Free SnackWells choc. sandwich cookies w/ unsweetened applesause for the crust, sugar substitute, 5 egg whites, and this cheesecake turned out to be a superb low fat, sugar free dessert!

I have been asked frequently to bring this cheese cake to all types of parties. I can't tell you how wonderfully easy it is to make. Of course the taste and texture is outstanding. Thank you so much
