No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

This was a huge hit for my family!!

 I've never attempted to make a cheesecake, so I wasn't sure how it would come out!

What You Will Need:

36 oreo cookies
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 pkgs (8 oz each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed

Make It:

Chop 15 cookies coarsely. Set aside.

Finely crush remaining cookies; mix with butter. Press onto bottom of 13x9- inch pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gently stir in cool whip and chopped cookies; spread onto crust.

Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

SIDE NOTE: It was easier to combine the cool whip and crushed cookies using my hands to mix. And also to scoop into pan!
