These decadent oreo cheesecake layered bars are easier to make than traditional cheesecake and sure to impress your friends and family!

 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.  I looked fantastic.  I thought, that looks delicious, but I bet this would also be amazing with Oreo cookies.

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.

After a light bulb moment and a quick trip to the grocery store, they were born:

Oreo Cheesecake Layered Bars

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 8×8 pan instead of the 13×9.

It is as simple as

1. Butter the pan
2. Place Oreo cookie halves in the bottom of the pan
3. Top with half the cheesecake mixture
4. Place a full Oreo on top
5. Fill with remaining cheesecake mixture.
6. 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!

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.
