These Oreo Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars are the answer to your sweet cravings. Imagine a creamy cheesecake filling, rich with cream cheese and dotted with chocolate chips, all nestled in a crunchy Oreo and chocolate chip cookie crust.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups Oreos, crushed
1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips
whipped cream (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and chocolate chip cookie dough to form the crust. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create a uniform layer.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is set and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream if desired.
