Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles

Directions & Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish to form a crust.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar together until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the Oreo crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  5. Sprinkle the red, white, and blue sprinkles generously over the top of the cheesecake filling. Press them in lightly so they stick.
  6. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
  7. Once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into bars. Serve chilled and enjoy your festive treats!

FAQs

What if the cheesecake filling is too runny?

If your filling seems too runny, ensure that the heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks and that the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.

Can I use different flavored Oreos for the crust?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different Oreo flavors to create a unique twist on the cheesecake bars.

What if I want to make these bars smaller?

You can easily scale the recipe by using a smaller baking dish or by cutting the bars into smaller portions after they have set.

Is there a way to make the crust more chocolatey?

You can add cocoa powder to the crushed Oreo mixture or substitute some of the Oreos with chocolate wafer cookies for extra chocolate flavor.

What can I do if the bars are too sweet?

If you find the bars too sweet, consider reducing the amount of powdered sugar in the cream cheese mixture or using less sweet toppings.

Can I add a fruit layer on top?

Yes, you can add a layer of fresh fruit or a fruit compote on top of the cheesecake layer before serving for added flavor and freshness.
