Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter and mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
