Delicious Oreo Cheesecake Bars featuring a crunchy Oreo crust layered with creamy cheesecake filling mixed with Oreo pieces. These bars are baked to perfection, offering a rich and indulgent dessert perfect for parties, gatherings, or anytime you crave a chocolatey, creamy treat.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 42 original Oreos (3 packets)
  • ¼ cup salted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 450 g (16 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 14 Oreos, roughly chopped (1 packet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced) / 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with baking paper for easy removal of the bars.
  2. Chop Oreos: Roughly chop 14 Oreos (1 packet) and set aside for folding into the batter and topping.
  3. Make Oreo Crust: Blitz the remaining 28 Oreos in a food processor to fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with the melted salted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the base of the prepared pan using a spoon or your hands to create an even crust layer.
  4. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar on medium speed using an electric or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined but small lumps are okay. Scrape down the bowl sides as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
  6. Divide Filling: Transfer half of the cheesecake filling to a separate bowl. Add half of the roughly chopped Oreos to one bowl, folding them gently into the mixture.
  7. Assemble Bars: Spread the Oreo-studded cheesecake mixture evenly over the Oreo crust base. Then, spoon the plain cheesecake mixture on top and spread evenly.
  8. Add Topping: Scatter the remaining chopped Oreos over the top of the cheesecake layer for added texture and flavor.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. The edges should look set with about a 2-inch border, while the center remains slightly wobbly like jelly.
  10. Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake bars cool at room temperature in the pan for 1 hour. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours to set fully before serving.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. These make a wonderful dessert or snack.
  12. Feedback: Don’t forget to leave a comment and rating to share your thoughts on this recipe.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and sour cream are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush finely with a rolling pin for the crust.
  • Do not overbake; the center should stay slightly jiggly to maintain a creamy texture.
  • Use an 8-inch square pan for best thickness and baking time.
  • For easier removal, leave some overhang of parchment paper on the sides of the pan.
  • Refrigerate bars uncovered for the first hour to set before placing plastic wrap over them.
