Description
These creamy no-bake Oreo cheesecake bars combine a crunchy Oreo crust with a smooth, rich cream cheese filling, perfect for a quick and indulgent dessert without baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo Cookies (Original or Golden)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Optional: 1/2 cup mini Oreo pieces
- Optional: chocolate chips or shavings for topping
Instructions
- Crush about 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs with some small chunks using a food processor or by smashing in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin (about 5 minutes).
- Mix the Oreo crumbs with 5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until evenly coated and the mixture feels like damp sand (about 2 minutes).
- Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- Whip 1 cup heavy cream in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
- Beat 16 ounces softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (about 3 minutes).
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula to keep it light and airy (about 2 minutes).
- If desired, fold in 1/2 cup mini Oreo pieces for extra crunch.
- Spread the creamy filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top (about 3 minutes).
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Slice into bars using a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts for clean edges.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Do not overwhip the cream to avoid turning it into butter. Chill bars at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. For clean slices, dip knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts. Optional add-ins include mini Oreo pieces and chocolate chips on top.
