A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, silky cream cheese filling, and festive red, white, and blue sprinkles. Perfect for summer parties and holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (for crust and filling)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/4 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or sealed bag. You should get about 2 cups (200g) of crumbs.
  2. Melt 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter and mix with the Oreo crumbs until coated like wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a lined 9×9-inch pan. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces (450g) softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gently fold 1 1/2 cups (360ml) thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, keeping it light and fluffy.
  6. Reserve about 6 Oreo cookies, crush roughly, and fold into the filling.
  7. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle 1/4 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles on top.
  10. Slice with a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried for clean cuts. Serve chilled.

Notes

Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Chill the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. For cleaner slices, freeze bars for 30 minutes before cutting. Soften cream cheese properly to avoid lumps. Fold whipped topping gently to keep filling airy.
