These creamy no-bake Oreo cheesecake bars feature a rich, velvety cheesecake layer with crunchy Oreo bits and a silky chocolate ganache topping, perfect for a quick and indulgent dessert without using the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 ½ cups crushed)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 12 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
  • 6 ounces (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by smashing them in a sealed bag with a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs with 5 tablespoons of melted butter until the mixture feels like wet sand.
  3. Press this evenly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan, packing it firmly. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces of softened cream cheese with ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup of cold heavy cream to soft peaks.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the cream.
  7. Stir in 12 chopped Oreos, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
  8. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  9. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the filling set.
  10. Place 6 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a small heatproof bowl.
  11. Heat ½ cup heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
  12. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes.
  13. Add 1 tablespoon butter, then stir gently until smooth and glossy.
  14. Let the ganache cool slightly but remain pourable.
  15. Pour the ganache evenly over the chilled cheesecake layer and spread gently with a spatula.
  16. Garnish with reserved Oreo pieces if desired.
  17. Return the pan to the fridge and chill for another hour to let the ganache set.
  18. Cut into bars with a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry before slicing.
  19. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks for light texture. Chill crust and cheesecake layers properly to set. Cool ganache before pouring to prevent melting the cheesecake layer. Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean cuts.
