You know those soft oatmeal creme pies from Little Debbie? Well I put them into a cheesecake and blew some minds. But I cannot take full credit for this epic creation. The idea behind this cheesecake actually comes from a friend of mine who is The Cheesecake Girl here in Columbus. She actually had this as the cheesecake of the week not too long ago and I nearly died just looking at the photo she posted on Instagram (granted I drool over most things she makes).

“Bob’s lunch” – we meal plan lately and Bob was staying home one weekday so I put that sticky note on his lunch. Then he turned around and put it on the box of creme pies. So I kept it on there for the photos because why not?

However, despite my desire I was unable to make it to her shop before the week ended. So I did what any rational person would do – bought some oatmeal creme pies and made it myself. You do that too right? Well you should now because unless you show up at my door that’s the only way to get a slice! (Or wait until it comes back in rotation at her shop if you’re lucky enough to live nearby.)

It’s quite simple really. Pour half the batter into the crust, press some cut up oatmeal creme pies into the filling, and cover with the remaining batter. Afterwards you ca decorate it with some more frosting and creme pies if you want. Which I totally recommend cause you gotta go all out with something like this.

How about serving this for Easter instead of carrot cake? I mean, I love carrot cake (and pretty much any cake involving cream cheese frosting) but who says you can’t have two desserts? Heck I’m planning to have two desserts and I’m only serving four people total. It’s basically spring’s Thanksgiving. This monster cookie dough cheesecake is also a great idea ;-).
