Ingredients
- 18 golden Oreos or vanilla sandwich cookies
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
- Zest from one lemon
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Line a 8×8 baking dish with foil or parchment paper, set aside.
- Place the Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor and process into crumbs, or crush them in a zippered bag.
- Mix the crumbs with the melted butter and press into the baking dish to form a crust, set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and with a hand mixer, mix until smooth with no lumps.
- Next, add the sour cream, sugar, vanilla, egg, flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until combined, scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add in ¾ of the blueberries and fold them in. Pour on top of the crust. Top with the remaining blueberries.
- Bake for 36 minutes, until the center is very slightly jiggly and the edges start to brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool on the counter top. Once cooled, cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to allow the cheesecake to set.
- Cut, serve, enjoy.
- You can garnish with more blueberries, lemon wedges, and whipped cream if desired.
