I get several requests to make this cheesecake for all gatherings I attend. I use mini oreos instead of chopping the big ones. This is my favorite dessert!

This was great!! I used the reduced fat Oreos and they worked wonderfully. I would highly suggest this cheesecake.

I will be making this for the third time for my daughter's birthday, as she has requested. Her Birthday is still almost 2 weeks away. She said she is SO looking forward to it. I have made this for my son's birthday also. Since it is so rich, we have it for special occasions. And if it's not rich enough, I guild the lily by putting a chocolate ganache on top of the cooled cake. This way I have a smooth surface to 'write' HAPPY BIRTHDAY on. Everyone who has a slice of this cheesecake raves!!!

Terrific original cheesecake taste combined with the texture of the crushed Oreos. A must for any Oreo lover.
