16 oz sour cream .
1 tsp vanilla extract .
1 (18 oz) package chocolate sandwich style cookies, divided (I used Oreo cookies.) .
2 tbsps flour

Directions

Step #1 CRUST: Coarsely chop half of the cookies & set aside.
Step #2 (I used a food processor/blender.
Step #3 ).
Step #4 Finely crush the remaining cookies, add the butter, & mix.
Step #5 (I used a food processor/blender.
Step #6 ).
Step #7 Press firmly on bottom & about 1 1/2 inches up sides of 9-inch springform pan (doesn't need to be perfect).
Step #8 Pan, especially a non-stick pan, does not have to be greased since there is a lot of butter in the crust.
Step #9 Bake crust at 325F degrees F for about 4 mins to set it.
Step #10 FILLING: In large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese a little.
Step #11 Add sugar & beat until creamy.
Step #12 Blend in eggs, sour cream, flour, & vanilla.
Step #13 Fold in coarsely sliced cookies by hand.
Step #14 Pour batter into prepared crust.
Step #15 Bake in 325F degree F oven for 50 to 60 mins or until set.
Step #16 (I baked for 50 mins & next time I may bake a few mins less.
Step #17 ).
Step #18 Cheesecake should still jiggle in the center when taken out of oven.
Step #19 DO NOT OVERBAKE.
Step #20 Cool at about room temp for 1 hr.
Step #21 Refrigerate at least 4 hrs, but better to make 1 to 2 days ahead.
Step #22 Best way to cut a cheesecake is when it is very cold, using a hot knife(wiping in between cuts), & cutting the entire cake before removing a piece.
Step #23 Heat hot fudge on high for 30 to 45 seconds until warm & pourable consistency.
Step #24 Spoon hot fudge over each slice of cheesecake.
Step #25 For a change, substitute malted milk balls or milky way bites instead of the oreo cookies in the filling.
