Deliciously creamy Oreo Cheesecake Bars featuring a rich cream cheese filling studded with classic Oreo cookies on a buttery Oreo crust. Perfect for dessert lovers seeking an indulgent treat that’s easy to make and packed with chocolatey goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 40 Oreo cookies (original, NOT Double Stuf; about 1 family size package)
  • 4 Tbsp butter (melted)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces block-style cream cheese (room temperature; 3 (8oz) blocks)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the 40 Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer the crushed Oreos into a bowl and mix with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue beating until fully incorporated. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the filling light and airy.
  3. Assemble and bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared Oreo crust in the baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid.
  4. Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake bars from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow them to firm up before slicing into bars.
  5. Serve: Once chilled and set, cut into bars and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with extra crushed Oreos or whipped cream for an added touch of decadence.

Notes

  • Use original Oreos, not Double Stuf, to maintain the right crust texture and flavor balance.
  • Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature to prevent lumps in the batter and achieve a smooth cheesecake filling.
  • Do not over-bake; the center should be slightly jiggly to avoid a dry cheesecake.
  • For easier cutting, chill the cheesecake bars thoroughly before slicing.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
