White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
2 c (or a 10 oz pkg) frozen raspberries
5 T + 1/2 c sugar, separated
2 t cornstarch
1/2 c water
15 Oreos, filling removed and discarded, and cookies crushed
1/4 c butter, melted and cooled
2 c white chocolate chips
1/2 c half & half
3- 8 oz pkgs cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 t vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 325*. Grease a 9" springform pan and wrap the bottom in foil.
2. In a small pot, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water; bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, until sauce thickens. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer and set aside to cool.
3. In a small bowl, mix together Oreo crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter; press into the bottom of the springform pan.
4. In a glass bowl, microwave chocolate chips and half & half for 3-5 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or so, until well blended and smooth.
5. In a large bowl, cream together cream cheese and remaining 1/2 cup sugar; beat in eggs one at a time, and then add vanilla and melted chocolate mixture.
6. Pour roughly 2/3 of the batter into the pan; spoon about 4 tablespoons of raspberry sauce over batter, concentrating most of it in the middle. Pour in remaining batter and spoon raspberry sauce on top, to almost cover the cheesecake.
7. Bake for 60 minutes, turn off oven, and leave inside for another 60 minutes. Let cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before removing from pan and serving.

Oreo Truffles

Oreo Truffles
1.5 rows of Oreos (I do not recommend Double Stuf)
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 c chocolate chips

1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
2. Crush Oreos; mix with cream cheese.
3. Melt chocolate chips (I do it in the microwave, stirring every 15 seconds, but you could also use double boiler).
4. Form cream cheese mixture into balls; roll in melted chocolate.
5. Place on wax paper; once all the balls are accounted for, place the cookie sheet in the fridge for at least an hour.

Oreo Pie

A birthday tradition in our household!

Oreo Pie
1 package Oreos
1 "block" vanilla ice cream

1. Place ice cream in a large bowl to soften.
2. Slowly place a little more than 1/3 of the Oreos in the blender and crunch them up; line the bottom of a 9x13 pan with the crushed Oreos.
3. Slowly place the rest of the Oreos in the blender and crunch them up.
4. Once the ice cream has softened, mix in the second batch of crushed Oreos.
5. Pour the Oreo ice cream over the Oreo crust, cover, and place in the freezer.

I forgot to take a picture before we cut in to it and it thawed out a little.
But you get the idea. ;)
