Cheesecake with an oreo cookie crust 🍓🍰

Ingredients:
- Bark:
2 cups oreo cookies without the white filling, finely ground
1/4 cup of melted butter
2 tablespoons of sugar
- Cheesecake:
4 8-oz. of cream cheese
1 2/3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup of sour cream
- Strawberry glaze:
1 cup of strawberries
1 pint small fresh strawberries, washed and peeled
3 tablespoons of water
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tsp cornstarch

Preparation:

Preheat to 325º F. In a large pot with water, bring to a boil for the water bath.
Mix the dough and press ingredients in 9" detachable mold. You can press the crust right at the bottom, or from the sides. Set the crust aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the cream cheese, sugar, flour and salt until smooth. If a mixer is used, mix at low speed. Add the whole eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, beating well (but still at low speed)

 after each addition. Place the vanilla and sour cream.

In a large baking dish, fill with the boiling water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the bread cake. If your cheese tray is not watertight, cover the bottom securely with aluminum foil before adding water.
Bake until the cheese is firm and lightly browned on top, 70 to 80 minutes.
Remove the cake from the water bath and cool to room temperature. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold, at least 3 hours or overnight.
Strawberry glaze: Puree frozen strawberries in a food processor or with an immersion blender. Press strawberry mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan. Add water.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cornstarch. Stir into the puree in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until thickened and clear. Add food coloring, if desired. Cool to room temperature.
Arrange the strawberries in a single layer around the cooled cheesecake. Drizzle cools glazed evenly over the strawberries on the cheesecake. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
