Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo Cookies
- 5 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 16 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups Nutella (400g)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar, sifted
Instructions:
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Place the Oreo cookies into the food processor and pulse until they are transformed into fine, uniform crumbs.
- Pour in the melted butter and sea salt. Pulse 5–7 times until the mixture reaches the consistency of wet, dark sand.
- Transfer the crumbs to the pan and use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to press them firmly into the bottom to create a structural foundation.
- In the food processor, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Process until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the Nutella, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Process until a high-density emulsion forms, resulting in a velvety, mahogany-colored filling.
- Pour the filling over the crust and use an offset spatula to create a perfectly flat, professional top.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the fats and proteins to set into a stable, creamy texture.
