Ingredients
– 36 Oreo cookies, divided (24 for crust, 12 for filling and topping)
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for ganache)
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust by pulsing 24 Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
2. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of a 9×9 inch pan lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate while making the filling.
3. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Chop the remaining 12 Oreos and fold them into the filling.
6. Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7. For the ganache, place chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until simmering, pour over chips, let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
8. Pour ganache over set cheesecake and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For best results, ensure cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps. You can use a 9×13 inch pan for thinner bars. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
