Ingredients for Oreo Cheesecake Bars:

With a few simple ingredients, you will make a delicious oreo cheesecake bar in minutes.

  • Oreo cookies: I used original Oreos for Oreo Cheesecake Bars. I think you get the best results with them, but you can use any flavor of Oreo you want.
  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: I made the base with chocolate chip cookie dough. But you can also make the base with oreo crumbs mixed with melted butter.
  • Butter: I used unsalted butter for the base, but since all desserts need a pinch of salt, I used salted butter in the crust.
  • Cream cheese: You need full-fat cream cheese for this recipe to achieve the best flavor and consistency
  • Sugar: All you need is regular white granulated sugar.
  • Egg: I used 2 large eggs in this recipe.
  • Vanilla Extract: Don’t forget to use pure vanilla extract.
  • Caramel: I drizzled some caramel sauce on top for decoration because I love the chocolate/caramel combo, but you can also serve it with ice cream or whipped cream.

How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Bars?

Here’s a step-by-step guide to making these easy oreo cheesecake bars.

  1. Preheat the oven to 325° F (160°C). Line an 8 x 8-inch or 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and . press the cookie dough into the bottom with your hand or with a spoon. The size of the pan will determine the thickness of the bars.
  2. Arrange the Oreos on the top of the cookie dough all the way to the edges of the pan. Use half a cookie on the ends if needed.
  3. Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. When it reaches a homogeneous and smooth consistency, add the sugar, vanilla, and salt and continue beating at high speed. Add the eggs one by one and beat at a slow speed until smooth. Pour over the cookie and oreo base and smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Crumble big and small Oreo pieces on top and cover them with foil. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the center wobbles just slightly. Place a small bowl of water inside the oven.
  5. Let cool down inside the oven for at least 10 mins and then let it rest outside the oven for at least 3 hours until it cools completely. You can leave it overnight if you wish.
  6. Remove the cheesecake bars from the baking dish and slice them. Serve with caramel sauce, ice cream, or whipped cream on top.

Tips for Making Perfect Cheesecake Bars (No Cracks):

All the ingredients must be at room temperature: Cream cheese and eggs should be at room temperature. If one of your ingredients is cold, your cream cheese filling will be lumpier.

  • Do not overmix: Be careful not to get too much air in your cream cheese filling by mixing it too much. Otherwise, it will not rise well during cooking and cracks will form on it.
  • Use water while baking: Don’t forget to put a bowl of water in your oven while cooking. This makes a kind of bain-marie cooking that will help your cheesecake to cook with steam and prevent cracks from forming on top of it.
  • Don’t open the door of the oven: As with every recipe, you should not open the door of your oven while baking. Cheesecake is a very delicate product and the oven door should not be opened or this will cause cracks to occur as the oven temperature drops every time you open the door.
  • Let it cool down in the oven: Do not take your cheesecake out of the oven as soon as it is cooked. Without opening the door, turn off the oven and let it rest in it. In this way, your cheesecake will not crack and will remain moister with the steam of the oven.

Storage & Freezing:

Cheesecakes or cheesecake bars always taste better when served the day after they are made and you can store them in an air-tight container for up to 3-4 days.

You can also freeze Oreo cheesecake bars for up to 2 months. Don’t forget to refrigerate 1 day before serving.
