Oreo Cheesecake

Big news ahead - my brother is going to be married! So we had to drive by his place yesterday afternoon for cake & congrats. I decided to go for an Oreo Cheesecake - something funky for the rural folks.


I love Oreos, and I love cheesecake - the combo of both those things is just adorable. Plus, the base is made of cookie crumbs and butter - no baking necessary. And the filling doesn´t call for flour (especially great for gluten sensible people). The cake is crunchy, sweet, but not overly, and the filling is moist and dense, but not too heavy. A great cake for any occasion.
