These Oreo Cheesecake Bars combine a rich, creamy cheesecake filling with a crunchy Oreo cookie crust, creating a decadent dessert perfect for any occasion. Made with original Oreos, cream cheese, and a hint of vanilla, these bars are easy to prepare and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

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: Crush the 40 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, either by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and smashing with a rolling pin or by pulsing them in a food processor. Combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan to form the crust.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until fully incorporated. Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  3. Add Eggs: One at a time, add the eggs to the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed after each addition to incorporate fully without overmixing, which helps prevent cracks during baking.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared Oreo crust in the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking to keep the cheesecake moist and creamy.
  5. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake bars from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow them to set properly.
  6. Serve: After chilling, cut the cheesecake into bars and serve chilled. These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Use original Oreo cookies, not Double Stuf, for the best crust texture.
  • Ensure all dairy ingredients and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid incorporating too much air, which can cause cracking.
  • Bake at a lower temperature to prevent the cheesecake from browning or cracking.
  • Allow the bars to chill thoroughly before slicing for clean cuts.
