1. Oreo Crust
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom with a parchment circle.
Pulse Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
Combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan.
Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
2. Snickers Cheesecake
Chop 3 cups of mini Snickers bars into eighths.
Beat cream cheese on high for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat for 1 minute.
Add vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars.
Water Bath Options:
Option 1: Place the springform pan in a cake pan, then put that in a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the cake pan.
Option 2: Wrap the springform pan tightly in foil, then place in a roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides.
Bake for 85-95 minutes until the edges are set, and the center slightly jiggles.
