Oreo Cheesecake

It's a good friend's birthday today and we'll only be meeting her tomorrow, so I had time today to bake something for her. She's not a dessert fan, but I think cheesecake should be neutral enough for her. Did a bit of a research on oreo cheesecake recipes and I'm not inclined towards to non-baked ones, shall do a baked one. Hope she likes the cake.

(Makes a 16 cm cake)

For the oreo cheesecake
60g plain yogurt (supposed to use sour cream, but I was too lazy to travel all the way)
250g cream cheese
50g caster sugar
12 + 6 oreo biscuits (with filling)
2 tbsp butter melted
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1tsp vanilla extract

For assemble and decoration
180g whipping cream
6 oreo cookies (halved)

1. Preheat the oven at 140 degrees.

2. Smash 12 oreo cookies using a rolling pin in a bag. (It's really therapeutic.)

3. Add the butter to the smashed oreo and mix to combine.

4. Pour the oreo mixture into lined base of cake tin. Spread evenly and use a spoon to press into the base. Place in fridge to set while the cheese filling is prepared.

5. Beat the cream cheese in a mixing pour till soft and fluffy.

6. Add the sugar and whisk to combine.

7.  Add the egg and egg yolk and beat till smooth.

8. Stir in the yogurt and the vanilla extract.

9. Chop the 6 oreo cookies roughly and stir into the cheese mixture.

10. Pour the cheese mixture into the cake tin where the oreo base has set.

11, Bake in preheated oven of 140 degrees for about 40 minutes. 

12. The cake is ready when the side is set and the centre is still jiggly. (Mine seems to be like that, fingers crossed.) Once baked, remove from oven and leave to cool completely on cooling rack.

13. Whip the whipping cream till stiff peak.

14. Spread enough to cover the top of the cake.

15. Remove cake from tin and pipe the rest of the cream and decorate as desired. I halved the cookies and placed them all round.

I am very satisfied with the appearance, but a little unsure if the inside is fully cooked. I hope it is and that it will taste as good as it looks. 40 minutes will be enough to fully bake the cake and it tasted good!
