Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until well coated.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
- Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each. Then mix in the sour cream until combined.

- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and spread over the cheesecake before serving. Garnish with chocolate, if desired.
