🛒 INGREDIENTS

For the Crust:

• 20 Oreo cookies, finely crushed

• 4 tablespoons butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Layer:

• 2 bars (8 oz each / 16 oz total) cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 1/3 cup sour cream

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Layers & Topping:

• 16 whole Oreo cookies (for the middle layer)

• 10 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped (for topping)

👩‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prep the Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

2. Make the Crust:

◦ In a food processor or ziplock bag, crush the 20 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.

◦ Mix the crumbs with 4 tablespoons of melted butter until well combined.

◦ Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.

3. Add the Middle Oreo Layer:

◦ Arrange the 16 whole Oreo cookies in a single layer right on top of the pressed crust.

4. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

◦ In a large bowl, beat the 2 bars of softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.

◦ Mix in the 1/3 cup sour cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

◦ Add the 2 large eggs one at a time, beating on low speed just until combined (do not overmix after adding eggs!).

5. Assemble & Bake:

◦ Pour the cheesecake mixture over the layer of whole Oreos and smooth out the top with a spatula.

◦ Sprinkle the 10 coarsely chopped Oreo cookies evenly across the top.

◦ Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when gently shaken.

6. Chill & Serve:

◦ Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature.

◦ Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight) until firm.

◦ Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake block out of the pan, slice into squares with a sharp knife, and enjoy!

💡 PRO TIP: Warm your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between cuts for perfectly clean slice edges!
