- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted - 16 oz cream cheese, softened - 1 cup powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup heavy cream - 12 Oreo cookies, chopped (for filling and topping) The main star of these bars is the Oreo cookies. You will need 24 crushed cookies for the crust. These cookies add a rich chocolate flavor. They also provide a crunchy texture that balances the creamy filling. For the crust, mix the crushed cookies with melted butter. The butter helps the crust hold together. Next, we have cream cheese. You need 16 ounces of softened cream cheese. It forms the base of the cheesecake filling. Softened cream cheese mixes well and gives a smooth texture. This is key for a creamy dessert. Powdered sugar sweetens the filling. You will use 1 cup to balance the flavors. Adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract brings warmth and depth to the cheesecake. For fluffiness, we incorporate 1 cup of heavy cream. Whipping the cream adds air and lightness to the mixture. The heavy cream helps achieve that dreamy cheesecake texture. Finally, you will chop 12 more Oreo cookies. These pieces add extra crunch to the filling and serve as a tasty topping. With these ingredients, you can make a delicious no-bake treat that everyone will love! To start, gather your ingredients for the crust. You need 24 crushed Oreo cookies and 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. 1. In a medium bowl, mix the crushed Oreos and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs look wet and sticky. 2. Next, take a 9x9 inch baking dish. Firmly press the Oreo mixture into the bottom. Make sure it is even and compact. 3. Once done, place the crust in the fridge while you make the filling. This helps it set up nicely. Now, let’s create the yummy cheesecake filling. You will need 16 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. 1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer. Keep mixing until it’s smooth and creamy. 2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until everything combines well. 3. In another bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will make the filling light and fluffy. 4. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Do this gently to keep it airy. 5. Finally, add in 12 chopped Oreo cookies. Fold them in so they are well-distributed. It’s time to bring it all together! 1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula. 2. Next, sprinkle more chopped Oreo cookies on top for a nice finish. 3. Cover the dish and place it in the fridge. Let it set for at least 4 hours. This chilling time is key for the best texture. Once set, slice your bars into squares and serve them cold. Enjoy the deliciousness! To get a smooth filling, start with softened cream cheese. Softening cream cheese makes it easy to blend. You can leave it out for about an hour before using it. If you forget, you can microwave it for 10 seconds. This helps create a creamy texture without lumps. When you fold in the whipped cream, do it gently. Use a spatula and scoop from the bottom. This keeps the air in the whipped cream. The air adds lightness to your cheesecake bars. Press the crust firmly into the dish. A strong base helps keep the bars together. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press down evenly. If it's too crumbly, add a bit more melted butter. This helps the crumbs stick better. Make sure the butter is fully melted. If it's not, it won't coat the crumbs well. The right butter amount gives the crust a nice texture. For a great presentation, serve each bar on a nice plate. You can sprinkle crushed Oreo around the edges. This adds a fun touch. You can top the cheesecake bars with whipped cream or chocolate sauce. Fresh berries also make a nice pair. They add color and a burst of flavor. {{image_2}} You can change the flavor of your No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Bars easily. Try using different cookie flavors to mix things up. Mint Oreos give a fresh twist. Chocolate Oreos add a rich taste. You can also add toppings like caramel or fudge. Drizzling chocolate sauce over the bars looks great and tastes amazing. Adding fresh fruit will brighten up the dessert, too. Think strawberries or raspberries for a fruity touch. If you need gluten-free options, there are choices. Look for gluten-free Oreos. They work just like regular Oreos. For a vegan version, swap the cream cheese for a plant-based cream cheese. Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. This keeps the bars creamy and delicious without dairy. These swaps help everyone enjoy the dessert, no matter their diet. To keep your No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Bars fresh, refrigeration is best.
