OREO CHEESECAKE BARS

Edit
These Oreo Cheesecake Bars start with a buttery Oreo crust, a cheesecake and Oreo middle, and are topped with Oreo crumbs. They are so much easier than making an entire cheesecake.
Ingredients
- 19.1 oz package regular Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup {1/2 stick} salted butter melted
- 3 {8 oz} packages cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup sour cream room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 large eggs room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF and line a 9x13 inch pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhanging on both sides. Spray with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place 28 Oreos in a food process and pulse until finely ground. Add the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are completely coated.
- Evenly press the cookie mixture firmly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Roughly chop the remaining Oreos, either by pulsing a few times in a food processor, or chopping by hand.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese on medium speed. Once smooth and creamy, add the sugar and blend well, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Beat in the sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Scrape the bowl and mix again.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides and then beat again, making sure the mixture is fulling combined.
- Gently fold in the Oreos and mix well.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and smooth out on top. Bake for 40 minutes, until filling is slight wobbly in the middle and set on the outside.
- Move to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Once cooled, chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- Once cooled, lift from pan, using foil overhanging and cut into squares. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
Note: Cheesecake tastes better as time goes on, so for prime taste, I suggest making these the day before you plan to eat them.
