Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 12 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped for the filling and topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Create the crust: Combine crushed cookies and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press and bake: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Beat cream cheese: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until completely smooth.
- Mix wet ingredients: Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and airy.
- Incorporate the eggs: Add eggs one at a time on low speed, mixing just until the yellow disappears.
- Fold in cookies: Gently fold half of the chopped Oreos into the cheesecake batter with a spatula.
- Bake the bars: Pour the batter over the crust, top with remaining cookies, and bake for 40-45 minutes.
- Cool and chill: Let the bars cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
- Slice and serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out and cut into even squares.
Notes
Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature to prevent lumps in the cheesecake filling.
