Ingredients
- 24 whole Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp, melted unsalted butter
- 16 oz, softened cream cheese
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Crush 24 whole Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter in a bowl and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Step 2: Press the Oreo crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to set.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Step 4: Pour 1 cup heavy cream into a separate bowl and whip with clean beaters on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Step 5: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Step 6: Melt 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
- Step 7: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled cheesecake bars using a spoon or piping bag. Slice into 12 bars and serve chilled.
