Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo Cookies, crushed
  • 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 8 oz (225 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos using a food processor or place in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until crumbly but not powdery.
  2. Mix crushed Oreos with melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan to form a 1-inch thick crust. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to preserve airiness.
  6. Pour filling over chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  7. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  8. Pour ganache evenly over set cheesecake layer and spread gently. Return to fridge for 30 minutes to firm up ganache.
  9. Cut into 12 bars using a sharp knife warmed in hot water and dried. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid overwhipping. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Heat cream just to simmer for ganache to prevent separation. Chill bars at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Warm knife before cutting for clean slices.
