Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 300 g Oreo cookies, crushed
- 100 g butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 400 g cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a baking pan lined with parchment paper to form an even crust layer.
- Bake the crust: Bake the crust in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before adding the filling.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and gently tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Chill and serve: Let the cheesecake bars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight to firm up completely. Once chilled, cut into bars and serve cold for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
- Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly jiggly for a creamy texture.
- Chilling overnight improves firmness and enhances the flavor.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal of bars.
- You can decorate the top with additional crushed Oreos or whipped cream before serving.
