Oreo Cheesecake Bar Ingredients

These are the ingredients you’ll need to make this rich and creamy Oreo cheesecake bar recipe: 

  • Oreos: This recipe starts with a package of Oreos (or your preferred chocolate sandwich cookies with white filling).
  • Butter: Half a stick of salted butter lends richness and flavor. 
  • Cream cheese: Of course, you’ll need softened cream cheese for these cream cheese bars. 
  • Sugar: A cup of white sugar lends the perfect amount of sweetness.
  • Sour cream: Sour cream adds creaminess and subtle tangy flavor.
  • Eggs: Three eggs give the bars richness and help bind the batter together. 
  • Vanilla: Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor. 
  • Salt: A pinch of salt also enhances the flavor, but it won’t make the bars taste salty. 

How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Bars

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below – but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make Oreo cheesecake bars: 

  1. Pulse the cookies in a food processor. Pulse again with butter.
  2. Press the mixture into a prepared pan and bake until set. 
  3. Make the filling, pour the batter onto the crust, and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. 
  4. Bake until the filling is set, cool, and chill. 
  5. Cut the Oreo cheesecake bars into squares. 

Test Kitchen Tips

This recipe was developed in our test kitchen. Check out some tips and tricks from culinary experts that might make the cooking process easier: 

  • For step 8 of the below recipe, Oreos also can be chopped coarsely in the food processor: Place remaining cookies in the food processor and pulse just until coarsely chopped. Larger chunks allow for more of a contrast of texture and prevent fine oreo crumbs from changing the cheesecake texture.
  • You can use different flavors, such as Golden Oreos or Peanut Butter Oreos, to shake things up. 

How to Store Oreo Cheesecake Bars

Recipe creator Sarah Brekke suggests storing the Oreo cheesecake bars, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to three months.
