Equipment

9-inch springform pan
Food processor
Electric mixer
Cooling Rack
Knife

Ingredients

1 package 1 1/2 lb chocolate sandwich cookies
1/3 cup butter melted
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, cut into chunks
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

In a food processor, whirl 1/2 package of the sandwich cookies, including filling, until they form fine crumbs. Mix in melted butter.
Press crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and about 1/2 inch up the sides. Chill crust for about 20 minutes to firm.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and whipping cream at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, flour, and vanilla; beat again to blend.
Pour 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture into the chilled crust. Break the remaining cookies in half and scatter over the cream cheese mixture, overlapping if necessary. Pour remaining cream cheese mixture over the cookies.
Bake in a 300°F oven for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, until golden on top and the cake only jiggles slightly when shaken.
Remove from oven and cool on a rack. Cover and chill until cold, at least 4 hours; overnight is better.
Before serving, run a knife between the cake and the pan sides. Remove the rim of the pan and cut cheesecake into slender wedges.

Notes

Chilling the crust before adding the filling prevents sogginess.
For best results, bake slowly at low temperature to avoid cracking.
Overnight chilling enhances flavor and texture.
