Ingredients
Crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream
- 12 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
Topping:
- 8 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a food processor, pulse the 24 Oreo cookies until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold in the coarsely chopped Oreo cookies.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreos on top of the filling.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the bars cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, allowing you to savor the sweet, creamy goodness whenever the craving strikes.
