1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup cocoa powder

3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

3 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cup Chocolate Oreo cookies, quartered

Combine crushed cookies with sugar, melted butter and cocoa powder. Press mixture on the bottom and sides of a 9 inch (20 cm) springform pan. Set crust aside.

Beat cream cheese in the mixer until smooth. Gradually add condensed milk, vanilla and eggs. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Remove bowl from mixer and fold in 1 cup of quartered cookies. Pour cheese mixture into pan and sprinkle remaining cookies on top.
