Prep Time20 mins
Cook Time1 hr 15 mins
Course: Dessert, Sweets
Cuisine: American
Author: The Flip Flop Wife

Ingredients

  • Ingredients from Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese New York Cherry Cheesecake Recipe except graham cracker crumbs and cherry pie filling
  • 1 package Lemon Oreos
  • ¼ cup + 1 tsp Limoncello
  • ¼ cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 each Lemon

Instructions

  • Place pan with water on bottom rack of oven.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Wrap sides and bottom of spring form pan with foil.
  • Split apart Lemon Oreos.
  • Remove filling from Oreos and place in a bowl.
  • Place cookies in blender or food processor.
  • Blend cookies until smooth and tiny crumb texture.
  • Melt Butter.
  • Pour Cookie Crumbs and Butter into small mixing bowl and combine. (Note: Follow Kraft’s instructions for “graham cracker crust” but use the lemon Oreos instead.)
  • Spray bottom of spring form pan.
  • Place cookie mixture into bottom of pan and press against the bottom and up the sides.
  • To large mixing bowl add cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, eggs, and sugar. Blend until smooth. (Note: Follow Kraft’s ingredients for cheesecake base.)
  • Add ½ of the Lemon Oreo filling. Blend.
  • Add ¼ cup Limoncello. Blend.
  • Pour cheesecake mixture into spring form pan.
  • Bake at 350 F for 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • After cheesecake is done baking, turn off the oven, prop the door open with a spoon, and let it sit for one hour.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1 ½ cups Sour Cream, 1 teaspoon Limoncello, and remaining Lemon Oreo filling together.
  • Top cheesecake with mixture.
  • Grate rind of one Lemon over the sour cream topping.
  • Let cool 6 – 24 hours prior to serving so cheesecake sets.

Notes

  • Let cream cheese sit out and get to room temperature (4 hours minimum).
  • Use a hand mixer to thoroughly mix cream cheese filling. Kitchen Aid large mixer works well but there is more control with a hand mixer. Greater control over creaminess/texture of the filling.
  • The foil around the pan keeps any filling from leaking out and into the oven.
