Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool while preparing the filling.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the sour cream, heavy cream, and flour until the batter is smooth.
Add ¼ cup of caramel sauce and stir until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle when tapped.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Final Touch: Topping Time!
Once the cheesecake has cooled completely (and chilled in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight), top it with chopped Reese’s, crushed Oreos, and mini chocolate chips. Finish it off with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce — and enjoy every sweet, creamy bite!
