Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 20 Oreo cookies)
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
10-12 Oreo cookies, chopped (for mixing into the filling)
2-3 tablespoons pink food coloring (or natural pink colorant)
Optional garnish: Additional Oreo crumbs or mini Oreos for topping
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, blend the Oreo cookies until you have fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture comes together. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to pack it down tightly. Place the pan in the fridge to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Continue beating until everything is well combined and smooth.
Add Sour Cream and Food Coloring: Gently fold in the sour cream to the mixture until fully incorporated. Next, add the pink food coloring and stir to achieve the desired shade of pink. You can adjust the color intensity by adding more food coloring as needed.
Add Chopped Oreos: Fold the chopped Oreo pieces into the cheesecake filling for extra flavor and texture.
