Yum!!! I will definitely be making this cheesecake again! I modified part of the recipe to make it fit into a 9" springform pan. I used 1 1/2lbs cream cheese, slightly less than 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup whipping cream, 1 1/2 T. flour, 3/4 t. vanilla and 3 eggs. Some tips: Bring the cream cheese and eggs to room temperature before mixing. Let the cheesecake stand for 5 minutes out of the oven before spreading the sour cream mixture over the top and putting in back in the oven. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for a full hour after you turn the oven off. Let cheesecake cool completely on the counter before putting it into the fridge.

Amazing cheesecake recipe! I made this for my sister's bridal shower and everyone went crazy for it. It is by far the best cheesecake I have tried. The sour cream topping is a must, simply delicious!!!

This was a great cheesecake. Pretty in depth to make. I used a 9 inch pan and you should def. use a 10 inch. The cake was so high that I could only put a small layer of the sour cream mixture on it. I used crushed choc. graham cracker for the crust and just roughly chopped up the oreos. Melted some chocolate and just swirled it around the top. Looked great and tasted awesome.

this is a great desert. I have made it a lot of times, always get good feedback. I'll keep making this for sure.

I thought it was just okay, but everyone else went nuts over it. It's very rich, but tasty.

Each year my church (which has almost 1,000 members) has a chocoalte festival where people bring all things chocolate and they are judged, awards given and then we all enjoy. This recipe won me the grand prize! I made some changes suggested by another review (Kerri). I left out the cinnamon. I also added cocoa powder, cream and melted chocolate to the batter. I skipped the sour cream and marbled the top with dark and white chocolate ganache. This was the best chocolate cheesecake i've every had. I had people compare it to restaurant quality.

I decided to enter this recipe into my school's annual spring fling dessert contest. I followed the hints: no cinnamon, I put a pan of water on a separate shelf under my cheesecake in the oven, and I added strawberries and caramel over the top to decorate. I never got to taste the cake, so I wasn't sure whether it was any good. However, when I showed up at the end of the event, every last bite of the cheesecake was gone! I won 2nd place and have had students, teachers, and parents asking for the recipe. Apparently, it was a great hit. I'll have to make it again so that I can finally try it. :)

This was the best cheesecake I have made myself. I only made a few minor changes and everyone thought that it turned out great. I used the cinnamon and did not think it was too strong as some others have. I doubled the amount of butter in the crust. I added handful of extra cookie crumbs for the crust to get a good thick solid crust. When cooking I put a casserole dish full of water on the bottom rack to help avoid any possible browning, not sure if it was really necessary or not but I have had cheesecakes come out brown on top before so I always do this now. If you are not a big chocolate fan I would suggest drizzling the chocolate on instead of using a solid layer but I was extremely happy with this recipe.

My daughter chose this cake for her 5th birthday cake and she loved it. Mom and dad did too. The layers are attractive and make it very interesting to eat as they all taste a little different. We'll definitely be making this again.

I made mini cheesecakes and they tasted really good, so I'm giving 5 stars. A couple of little problems though, there were little cracks in the tops, and I think it might be because I put my crushed Oreos in way too close to the surface, like 2/3 up instead of 1/3 up. It seemed to crack above the lumps. But the tasty ganache covered that up anyway. Also the bases were soggy and really not crunchy, I don't know why. I used McVities digestive biscuits.

Yummy! I have looked for a good cheesecake recipe and this is it! It's easy to make, just time consuming. But a good cheesecake is worth the time!

This is the first cheesecake I've ever made and it turned out so good. I omitted the cinnamon like someone else had said. Very easy to make if you follow the recipe and very good to eat.

How do ya sa it? Home Run High five it deserves 10 stars not 5. This is absolutely the very best cheesecake on earth - no changes- got my fork gotta go!

Are there more than 5 stars for a recipe. This is the best recipe I have made from this site. Truly tastes as good, if not better, than Cheesecake Factory, and costs a lot less. I made one for a friend's party using a 9 inch pan and used some of the extra batter to make three small ones for us. They all turned out perfect. The ganache really makes it professional looking and adds so much. I did not take the cream out of the cookies, just put them in my Kitchen Aid blender on chop. I have never made such an easy cookie crust. I will make it again soon!

Combining cheesecake and Oreos into one dessert is a genius idea if I've ever heard one. I did what one person suggested and left bigger chunks for the cookies in the middle, which I think was a great switch. Also, needed more cookies for the crust. Melted choc chips, put in a plastic bag with a tiny piece of the corner cut off to drizzle on top (thought it would be too chocolately otherwise) and it was so tasty! My friend requested it as her new official birthday cake :)

what a great dessert!! very easy to make, very pretty to look at. i had read that there were issues cutting the cake after the chocolate was put on. i waited a day for the cake to set, then put the chocolate on the top and cut right away. my first cheesecake that i "baked" and it turned out perfect.

This was a great recipe! I made this dish for "cake day" at work and I got a lot of compliments.

This was very good. Everyone loved the cheesecake. I think it will be making another appearance next year for Christmas diner.

This is a fool proof cheescake. If you can follow directions then this WILL turn out perfect!! You can always tweak it if you have personal preferences but you do not need to. Put layers on gently and evenly, I did as another reviewer stated and clumped the sour layer in the middle and it disrupted the bottom layer. Each time I seal up the springform pan, and put directly into the freezer. When I need it I take it out the night before. I have made this 4 times since I first tried it for Christmas. I put decorated frosting flowers on top the first time. Today i drizzled carmel on top. But you do not need to add anything. This will be one of my all time keepers.

Made this one twice over the holidays and got rave reviews both times. Second time, though, I had run out of Oreos, so I used some homemade ginger cookies in the filling portion and it actually was even better than all Oreos.
