1

Prepare the crust

Start by crushing 20 chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. In a bowl, combine the crushed cookies with 1/4 cup of melted butter and mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

2

Make the filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat 24 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar and continue to beat until creamy. Next, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of sour cream. Mix until well incorporated. Finally, gently fold in 12 coarsely chopped chocolate sandwich cookies.

3

Bake and chill

Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Once baked, let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4

Serve and enjoy

Remove the chilled cheesecake from the refrigerator and carefully remove the sides of the pan. To add an extra indulgent touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the top and garnish with additional crushed cookies. Slice into wedges and serve. Enjoy the creamy, dreamy goodness!
