Ingredients:
- 40 Oreos, divided
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 boxes cream cheese, room temp (16 oz, about 4 cups)
- 1 2/3 cups heavy cream (14 oz)
- 1 tsp vanilla, optional
- 1/2 cup sugar
Special Equipment:
- 8×8 inch pan
How to make Oreo Cheesecake Bars
- Use a food processor to crush 24 Oreos into fine crumbs. Alternatively, use a ziplock bag and crush until fine. Mix together with the melted butter then press into an 8×8 inch pan and refrigerate for 10 minutes while you make the filling.
- In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, whip the cream cheese until very smooth. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar, beating until well combined. Break up 16 Oreos into chunks and fold into the cream cheese mix.
- Pour the filling over the chilled cookie crust and spread evenly. Add some crushed Oreos on top, if desired.
- Freeze for 1-2 hours or until set. Cut into squares and enjoy! You can keep these either in the fridge or the freezer once sliced – the freezer version tastes more ice cream-y and the fridge version tastes more creamy and like regular cheesecake.
