Ingredients

• 20 oreos, finely crushed (for the oreo crust)
• 3 tbsp (42g) melted unsalted butter (for the oreo crust)
• 16 oz (454g) cream cheese, softened (block style, not cream cheese spread) (for the filling)
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar (for the filling)
• 3/4 cup (225g) nutella (for the filling)
• 1 oz (28g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted & slightly cooled (this is technically optional for some chocolate flavor, you can skip it if you want just nutella! you could also do 2 tbsp/12g unsweetened cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate) (for the filling)
• 1/4 cup (60g) sour cream, room temp (for the filling)
• 1 tsp vanilla (for the filling)
• 1 1/2 tbsp (12g) all-purpose flour (for the filling)
