I love using Oreo cookies because they add a rich chocolate flavor. The crushed cookies mixed with butter create a tasty crust. Cream cheese is key to a smooth filling. Make sure your cream cheese is soft for easy mixing. The powdered sugar adds sweetness, balancing the rich cream cheese. Now, for the additional components. Vanilla extract brings warmth to the flavor. Heavy whipping cream is crucial for that light, fluffy texture. Chopped Oreo cookies in the filling add extra crunch and chocolate goodness. Don’t forget the extra Oreos for garnish! They make the bars look great and taste amazing. For the full recipe, check out the details above. To start, combine 24 crushed Oreo cookies with 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. This step is key for a tasty crust. Next, press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish. Use the back of a measuring cup to make it compact. After that, refrigerate the crust for about 15 minutes to set. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. This makes the base of your filling creamy and rich. Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until everything is fully blended. The filling should be sweet with a nice vanilla flavor. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. This step adds fluffiness to your cheesecake filling. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the cream. The mixture should remain light and airy for the best texture. Now, stir in 12 chopped Oreo cookies into the cheesecake mixture. This adds extra flavor and texture. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the set crust in your baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula to make it look nice. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the bars are set. This chilling time is important for the bars to hold together. Before serving, garnish the top with extra crushed Oreos. This adds a nice touch and extra crunch. You can find the full recipe above for all the details! To make sure your cheesecake bars are smooth and creamy, start with room temperature cream cheese. Cold cream cheese can lead to lumps. Mix it well until it is nice and smooth. When you whip the heavy cream, beat it until it forms stiff peaks. Then, fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture. This keeps the airiness of the whipped cream, giving your bars a light and fluffy texture. For the best taste, always use high-quality vanilla extract. It makes a big difference in flavor. You can also add a twist by drizzling chocolate or caramel on top before serving. This not only adds flavor but also makes the dessert look extra special. Feel free to get creative with toppings or mix-ins, like nuts or sprinkles. How you serve your cheesecake bars can make them even better. I love to use a decorative platter to display them.
