Chocolate Cheesecake Bars with Oreo Crust
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Whipped cream and additional crushed Oreos for garnish
Instructions:
Set the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit 160 degrees Celsius and line a 9 by 9-inch 23 by 23 cm baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a small overhang for simple removal
Melted butter and crushed Oreo cookies should be combined in a mixing bowl
To form the crust, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking pan that has been prepared
Cream cheese that has softened should be beaten until smooth and creamy in a different bowl
Beat in the powdered sugar until thoroughly blended
One egg at a time, adding and thoroughly mixing after each addition
Add the vanilla extract and stir
Evenly spread this cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust in the baking pan
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the center is still slightly jiggly and the edges are set
Take it out of the oven and allow it to cool fully in the pan using a wire rack
Make the chocolate ganache while the cheesecake bars are cooling
Melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream in 20-second increments in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring in between each burst until smooth
Add the salt, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder and stir until well mixed
Evenly cover the chilled cheesecake layer with the chocolate ganache
Place the bars in the fridge to solidify the ganache, which should take at least two hours
When the cheesecake bars are set, remove them from the pan by using the overhanging parchment paper
Slice into squares, top with crushed Oreos and whipped cream, and serve
Savor your delicious Oreo Crust Chocolate Cheesecake Bars!
