Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 whole Oreos, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • Optional toppings: extra crushed Oreos or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush 16 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Combine crumbs with melted unsalted butter and mix until texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and silky.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  4. Combine filling and whipped cream: Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula with about 10 slow strokes to keep it airy.
  5. Add crushed Oreos: Roughly chop the remaining 8 Oreos and fold them into the filling mixture.
  6. Assemble the bars: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra Oreo crumbs or mini chocolate chips on top if desired.
  7. Chill: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  8. Serve: Lift bars out using parchment paper overhang, cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts, and enjoy.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Press crust firmly but not too hard. Warm knife under hot water before slicing for clean cuts. Chill bars overnight for best texture. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives and use vegan Oreo-style cookies.
