Oreo Cheesecake

Thanks to Pauline for sharing the website with a wonderful Oreo Cheesecake recipe. When I saw that Janice make it too and she said it was yummy, I told myself I must find time to make it too. I love oreos!

I baked it with Z's help yesterday when L was taking a nap. He was so eager to eat it but it wasn't ready till after he went to bed :p The next day, LZ tried it but they didn't like it :( They never like cheesecake so I wasn't surprised at all. I was hoping that with oreos in it, they will like it. My nephew and niece who came over to our house this afternoon tried it and they love it. Are you guys telling the truth? :) Personally, I like it too! LZdaddy yet to try it but he promised me he would do that later :)

I gave almost half of it to Michelle and her 3 little ones. Michelle's princesses are my tasters :) I received good review from them ;) When I smsed Michelle to remind her to put in the fridge hours later (how forgetful!), she told me that her little ones finished it as soon as they got home! Gagaga...

If you like oreos, then you must try this! I posted the recipe here for my own reference.
