Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 Oatmeal Cream Pies, crumbled
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 5 Oatmeal Cream Pies, chopped
Topping:
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip or whipped topping
- Additional crumbled Oatmeal Cream Pies for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, crumbled Oatmeal Cream Pies, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed and compacted. Set aside.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Fold in the chopped Oatmeal Cream Pies gently to avoid overmixing.
- Bake the Cheesecake:
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. The edges should be slightly puffed and golden.
- Once done, turn off the oven and crack the oven door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
- Cool and Add Topping:
- After cooling in the oven, remove the cheesecake and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, spread Cool Whip or whipped topping evenly over the cheesecake.
- Garnish with additional crumbled Oatmeal Cream Pies on top.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Slice and enjoy your Oatmeal Cream Pie Cheesecake!
Baked to perfection and then topped with a generous layer of fluffy Cool Whip, this cheesecake is crowned with additional crumbled Oatmeal Cream Pies, offering a beautiful and tasty garnish.
