Oreo Cheesecake Layered Bars
I normally shy away from cheesecake recipes. I do not own a spring form pan and the thought of using a special pan and water to get the right consistency and finished product scares the heck out of me. So I saw a video floating around of a Tiramisu recipe by Tasty. It looked fantastic. I thought, that looks delicious, but I bet this would also be amazing with Oreo cookies as an Oreo cheesecake bars.
I liked the process of how they made "cheesecake" in a simple pan, no special equipment or processes. It is very easy to do and not intimidating. Not like some of the other recipe for Oreo cheesecake bites that I have seen. A lot of times there is just too much work to do. We want quick and simple.
After a light bulb moment and a quick trip to the grocery store, we put together this Oreo cheesecake bar recipe and it has been highly sought after ever since!
Breaking it Down
The Tasty recipe for Tiramisu cheesecake uses A LOT of filling. 2lbs worth of cream cheese. I did not need to make a big batch like that so I cut it in half. This recipe also uses a square 8x8 pan instead of the 13x9.
Oreo Cheesecake Bars- It is as simple as
- Butter the pan
- Place Oreo cookie halves in the bottom of the pan
- Top with half the cheesecake mixture
- Place a full Oreo on top
- Fill with remaining cheesecake mixture.
- Bake. Chill.
So simple. You probably will get a few cracks in the top, that is nothing a little chocolate drizzle and crushed Oreos can not hide. This dessert is for eating, not displaying! Want to turn this into a recipe for oreo cheesecake bites? As mentioned above, in case you missed it- cut smaller squares, dip in chocolate. Even adding a toothpick to each would be cute.
TIP* Be sure not to over bake. As with any cheesecake the texture will change and be rubbery. Trust your oven and trust your gut. If it is not jiggly anymore and is firm to the touch, it is done.
