Oreo’s. The chocolate sandwich cookie that I find absolutely irresistible. I am a fan of cookies and creme everything especially in the form of ice cream and milkshakes.
The big question is: regular or double-stuffed?
Double-stuffed all the way. Whenever I have regular Oreo’s, I’m constantly wondering where the filling went because I’m so used to the double-stuffed, haha
If you love cheesecake and Oreo’s and the whole cookies and creme flavor then you will love these Oreo cheesecake bars! It’s full of Oreo goodness. Oreo crust on the bottom and crumbled up Oreo’s throughout the entire cheesecake! You won’t be able to resist this. It’s a little too dangerous to keep in the house!
Oreo Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 23 Oreo cookies, the whole cookie – icing and all!
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake:
- 12 ounce (340 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 6 tablespoons (72 g) sugar
- 6 tablespoons (72 g) sour cream, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (the whole cookie – icing and all!)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 °F (163 °C) and line a 8×8 inch baking dish with foil. Let two sides of the foil overhang on the baking dish (so it's easier to pull out the cheesecake).
- To make the crust, in a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they’re finely ground. Add in the melted butter and pulse until the cookies are moistened.23 Oreo cookies, 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
- Transfer the ground Oreos to the prepared baking pan and press the crumbs in an even layer over the bottom of the pan. Bake crust for 10 minutes then set aside while keeping the oven on.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium high until light and smooth, about 2 minutes. Then mix in the sugar until well-combined.12 ounce (340 g) cream cheese, 6 tablespoons (72 g) sugar
- Blend in the sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Then beat in the egg and egg yolk until well-incorporated.6 tablespoons (72 g) sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- Gently stir in the chopped Oreos.12 Oreo cookies
- Pour cheesecake batter over the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 40 minutes, or until cheesecake is set around the edges but slightly wobbly in the center.
- Let cheesecake cool to room temperature, about 1 hour then cover the pan and refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours. I chilled mine overnight.
- To cut the bars, lift the overhanging foil from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Peel away the foil and slice into bars. Clean the knife blade after each slice to keep the edges pretty.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. You may keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, if it lasts that long!
Made these with red velvet Oreos for Valentine’s Day! I never made cheesecake before, so I got a lot of cracks at the top of mine (I read later that it can be due to over-mixing or abrupt changes in temperature when cooling), but other than that, they turned out great. Thank you!
Glad you made these! The red velvet oreo’s sound like a great idea!
Hi, I just made this yesterday. Although the taste was amazing, my batter was yellow and I did not want to beat it more because I might overmix it. Also, I only baked it for 30 mins and when I took it out, it was golden on the top. The taste was there, but the color was very off. can you tell me what I did wrong? Im 100% sure the temp was 325. Thanks
It’s probably from the egg yolk, that’s why it was more yellow. Depends on how large your egg yolks were. How high was your oven rack in your oven? Might be why your tops were golden. If you see that happening next time, just put a piece of foil on the top and finish baking with the foil covering the pan.
Hi I was wondering do you take the icing out of the cookies to make the crust and the cheesecake?
Nope, the whole cookie!
Oh okay thanks:)
These are amazing!! I used an 8x by 12 pan all I did was add 5 more Oreos and a table spoon of butter and added a little more of the cheese cake filling. Amazing!
Sounds awesome!! So glad you enjoyed these :)
I tried this once, my kids and hubby really like the delicious taste! And now im making it again because my husbby’s request to be bring in his office. Thank you so much for sharing this absolutely amazing dessert!
I’m so glad your kids and husband enjoyed it so much! :)
OMG and yum! I felt like taking a bite out of the computer screen.
Made these yesterday for my husband for his Father’s Day dessert request of Oreo Cheesecake. They were absolutely delicious!! I used a little bit more melted butter to get the cookie crumbs to come together and accidentally added both eggs with the whites and their yolks and the recipe still came out perfect! A definite keeper. Especially if you are a big fan of Oreos like we are. Thank you so much for posting!
So glad your husband got a great dessert on Father’s Day!
I wish I had read the instructions all the way through before making this. I’ve never made cheesecake before and didn’t think about chill time. My cheesecake is in the oven now and I’m on my way to a party in 3 hrs. I hope throwing it in the freezer to speed up chill process is ok!
Oh no! I hope it still worked out for you, Tiffany!
made the cake yesterday and it turned out great. everyone loved it. thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for the feedback, Effie!
These look seriously amazing
