The fillings

• In a bowl using a stand mixer, mix well the room temperature cream cheese, sugar, and salt till they form one smooth paste.
• Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract. Add to the mix the eggs and yolk, one by one, making sure each one is mixed thoroughly till the mix is smooth and creamy.
• Separate the mix into three portions. Add each portion to the crust, smooth it well and sprinkle chopped Oreos on top. Repeat for the other two batter portions without sprinkling Oreos on the top of the last one.
