Recipe for Oreo Cheesecake

Ok, so I just got back from going to Homemaking, whatever, it's called some long name I don't know but it used to be called Homemaking, so that's what I am calling it. Well, the teacher was a cute thin young girl talking about nutrition and diet and exercise, and all I could think about was , I just want to go home and eat a whole cake. I don't know what's wrong with me.
So anyway, here is the recipe that will blow your mind. It's from a neat cookbook that my friend Anne got me hooked on, called The Essential Mormon Celebrations by Julie Badger Jensen.

It's actually called Cookies and Cream Cheesecake
3 Cups finely crushed Oreo cookies (36 cookies divided) -- My friend Brenda uses a blender,
I used a rolling pin and big ziploc, it's kind of a mess if you get holes in it
1/3 Cup butter or marg, melted
2 (8 ounce) pkgs cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 Cup whipping cream, plus sugar to sweeten
Chocolate bar shavings , for garnish

In a bowl, stir together the 2 cups of crushed oreos and butter or margarine. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate or springform pan. Freeze or refigerate until firm.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla. Blend well. Whip and sweeten cream; fold whipped cream and remaining 1 cup crushed oreos into cream cheese mixture. Spoon into chilled cruse. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate bar shavings. Makes about 6-8 servings.
