Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 15 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Add dollops of the cheesecake mixture on top, then gently spread it to cover the brownie layer. Sprinkle the chopped Oreos over the cheesecake layer, pressing them lightly into the batter. Finally, spread the remaining brownie batter on top.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Avoid over-baking.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift them out, then slice into squares or rectangles for serving.

Notes

[‘Make sure your eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better results.’, ‘Use parchment paper with an overhang to easily lift the bars out of the pan.’, ‘For a festive twist, replace Oreos with crushed candy canes or add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top of the cheesecake layer before baking.’]
