  3. Fold in the sour cream and pink food coloring until evenly distributed.
  4. Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
Assembly
  1. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing the top.
  2. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and jiggles slightly when shaken.
  3. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly cracked for about 1 hour.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
Garnishing
  1. Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate chips and Oreo cookie crumbs.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for a lump-free batter. Feel free to use any food color. For an extravagant touch, pour chocolate ganache over the top before garnishing.
