Cookies & Cream Cheesecake

This recipe is from the P&O’s cookbook aptly titled ‘Holidays’

It’s very nice, although it’s organised strangely by “events” so the desserts are all over the place rather than in one spot!

This recipe included:

• 2.5 packets of Oreos (400g)
• 80g butter
• 2/3 cup caster sugar
• 500g Cream Cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla essence
• 150 grams white chocolate + extra to drizzle on top

1. Oven on to 170 degrees Celcius
2. You use a food processor to mix 2 packets of oreos and the butter to make the base.
3. Press it into the bottom of a lined 23cm round spring form tin (I used a 20cm so it is smaller but taller…) & then chill in fridge
4. Put the remaining Oreos in the food processor and pulse until they are broken into chunks (these are for the actual cake so whatever size you prefer)
5. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until combined
6. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each egg is added
7. Add the vanilla essence
8. Melt the chocolate and stir it in
9. Fold in Oreo Chunks
10. Pour over base and put in oven for approx 50 minutes, and then turn oven off and leave in there to cool (Mine was a bit burnt on the base, I would cook it for less next time but my oven is a bit erratic so who knows…)
11. Melt some more chocolate and drizzle over top

And there you have it! It is delicious if you were wondering!
