300g cream cheese (softened): The rich, creamy core of the cheesecake.
70g granulated sugar: Sweetens the filling.
Cream from 18 Oreo cookies: Reinforces that signature Oreo flavor.
150g heavy cream: Whipped for a light, airy texture.
10 Oreo cookies (chopped): Adds cookie crunch throughout the filling.

Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
Don’t overmix the filling once you add whipped cream — it should stay airy.

Warm your knife before slicing through the ganache for smooth edges.

Description

A crunchy Oreo crust, creamy cheesecake filling packed with cookie chunks, and a smooth chocolate ganache topping. Easy, decadent, and no-bake!

Ingredients

Scale

18 Oreo cookies (cream removed)
4 tablespoons melted butter
300g cream cheese, softened
70g granulated sugar
Cream from 18 Oreo cookies
150g heavy cream
10 Oreo cookies, chopped
3 whole Oreo cookies (for layering)
150g milk chocolate
50g heavy cream
3 Oreo cookies, halved (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Make the Crust

Crush the Oreo cookies (without cream) into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
Mix with melted butter until fully combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan.
Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the reserved Oreo cream until smooth and lump-free.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
Stir in the chopped Oreo cookies.

3. Assemble the Layers

Spread half of the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
Place 3 whole Oreo cookies across the first layer.
Add the remaining cheesecake mixture and smooth the top.
Cover and refrigerate overnight for best texture and structure.

4. Make the Ganache

Heat 50g of heavy cream in a saucepan or microwave until just simmering.
Pour over the chopped milk chocolate and let sit for 1 minute.
Stir until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly.

5. Finish and Garnish

Pour the cooled ganache over the chilled cheesecake layer and spread evenly.
Chill for another 30 minutes until the ganache sets.
Garnish with halved Oreo cookies before slicing into bars.

Notes

These bars are best served cold for a firmer texture and better flavor.
For a layered dessert presentation, use a clear dish or trifle format.
This dessert is ideal for special occasions, potlucks, and make-ahead entertaining.
