These creamy Oreo cheesecake bars with chocolate drizzle combine a buttery Oreo crust, smooth cheesecake filling, and luscious chocolate topping for a crowd-pleasing, easy-to-make dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 3/4 cups), crushed finely (reserve some for topping)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 6 crushed Oreo cookies (for folding into the filling)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Prepare the crust: Crush 24 Oreos finely using a food processor or rolling pin until coarse crumbs (about 1 3/4 cups). Mix with 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until combined. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan (about 1 inch thick). Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat 16 ounces softened cream cheese until smooth (2-3 minutes). Add 2/3 cup sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs one at a time. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth. Fold in 6 crushed Oreos.
  4. Pour the filling over the baked crust and spread evenly. Tap the pan lightly to release air bubbles.
  5. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 35-40 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
  6. Cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour, then chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
  7. Prepare the chocolate drizzle: Melt 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled bars in a zigzag pattern.
  9. Slice into 16 bars using a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry for clean cuts.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for smooth batter. Avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks. Press crust firmly and bake at low temperature (325°F) for gentle cooking. Cooling slowly and chilling overnight helps prevent cracking and improves slicing. Melt chocolate slowly to avoid burning. Gluten-free Oreos can be used for a gluten-free version. Variations include adding espresso powder or using seasonal Oreo flavors.
