📝 Preparation Steps
1
Waterproof a 9" springform pan by placing 2 18" x 18" pieces of aluminum foil on a flat surface underneath the pan so they form a + then gently fold (to make sure you don't create any holes) up the sides of the foil around the pan. Repeat.* Line bottom of springform with parchment paper and lightly grease the inside of your entire pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2
Preheat oven to 350°Fwith the oven rack in lower third of oven. Fill a roasting pan with 1 1/2 inches water to create a water bath for your cheesecake (to prevent cracking). Place roasting pan in the oven while you prepare your cheesecake.

To make the crustpour finely ground Oreos in a large bowl and stir in melted butter; mix until well combined. Pour Oreo crumbs into springform and firmly press the crumbs down on the bottom of the pan until you have an even layer.

With mixer still running, add the eggs, then the egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing ⏱️ 30 seconds after each egg/egg yolk, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla and mix until well incorporated. Pour only 1 1/2 cups of this plain cheesecake on top of the uncooked Oreo crust and evenly spread to the edges.
