To make the crust:
- Press the Oreo crust into a 9-inch springform pan.

- Slowly add in the sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and Oreo cream filling. (remember: do not over whip).
- Pour the cheese mixture into the cooled crust.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, then slowly put the roasting pan in the oven (do not pull the rack out of the oven).
- Add in enough warm water to come around halfway up the side of the springform pan bake around 70 minutes (the outside of the cheesecake will set and the center will be loose).
- Remove cheesecake to a rack, then run a knife around the edges; cool to room temperature.
- Next, cover the cake and place in the fridge to set, at least 7 hours (or ideally overnight).
- Remove the cheesecake from the fridge at room temperature half an hour before serving. Then, remove the springform ring. Decorate with Oreo crumbs of whole cookies (if desired).
- Slice the cake with a wet knife (dipped in warm water).
