Oreo Cheesecake

Homemade cheesecake is the delicious and impressive dessert. To top it up if it is an Oreo cheesecake, the name itself  is so tempting, it's almost impossible to resist a slice.

To make a cheese cake is never easy and with cookies it makes it more difficult, after several attempts, I could get the right texture which is the most vital of any cheesecake along with the taste. "I can" is my motto and to extend it to you would be "you can as well".

 

A cheesecake is one of those desserts which can be an end to any meal. It is just creamy at the top with the right flavored cheese in the middle and a cookie crust base at the bottom. The softness of the cream and the crunchiness of the cookies makes the dessert feels like a pure bliss.

My expertise on the desserts is praised by many, but among the desserts my own preferred dessert is definitely this Oreo cheesecake. My perfected recipe follows.
