Ingredients

• 19.1 oz package regular Oreo cookies
• 1/4 cup {1/2 stick} salted butter melted
• 3 {8 oz} packages cream cheese softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup sour cream room temperature
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3 large eggs room temperature

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325ºF and line a 9×13 inch pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhanging on both sides. Spray with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Place 28 Oreos in a food process and pulse until finely ground. Add the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are completely coated.
3. Evenly press the cookie mixture firmly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
4. Roughly chop the remaining Oreos, either by pulsing a few times in a food processor, or chopping by hand.
5. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese on medium speed. Once smooth and creamy, add the sugar and blend well, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
