Ingredients

Crust

  • 32 Original Oreos
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter

Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Andes Baking Chips or 1 1/2 boxes of Andes Candy chopped

Instructions

  1. Set the cream cheese and the eggs on the counter to come to room temperature.

  2. Spray a 9 x 13" baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

Filling

  1. Using a food processor, or zippy bag and a mallet, crush the Oreos into crumbs.

  2. Place the unsalted butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt the butter.

  3. Pour the Oreo crumbs and the melted butter into a small bowl to combine.

  4. Press the Oreo mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and freeze for at least 1 hour.

Filling

  1. Once crust is frozen, cream cheese is softened, and eggs are at room temperature, you can make the filling.

  2. Preheat the oven to 325° F

  3. In a large mixing bowl beat together the cream cheese and the sugar on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until very smooth.

  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.

  5. Next, mix in the flour, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix well.

  6. Using a wooden spoon, carefully fold in the Andes Baking Chips.

  7. Pour the filling into the frozen crust. Use a silicone spatula to spread the filling evenly to the edges of the pan.

  8. Place pan in oven to bake for 50-55 minutes, until top is light brown and center has a slight jiggle.

  9. Remove from oven and place pan on wire rack to cool for 2 hours.

  10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours before serving.
