COOKIES AND CREAM CHEESECAKE BARS
If you love oreos and you like cheesecake, you present opine that you acquire died and gone to heaven with this provide. It all starts with an oreo rudeness. Then the cheesecake is baked, but allay utterly moist with crunchy oreos inner. Then I virtuous had to top it off with some more crushed oreos making this pretty more the Incomparable ply ever. This provide was state and it would definitely be a hit!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pound oreo cookies
- 3 8 ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 325. Line a 9×13 pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 2 inch overhang for easy removal. Spray the aluminum foil with non stick cooking spray,
- Place 28 oreos in a food processor or grinder and pulse until they are finely ground. Add the melted butter and stir until the oreos are moistened. Pour the crumb mixture into the 9×13 and press firmly until the crumbs are evenly distributed. Bake this for 10 minutes in oven and remove from oven and set on a cooling rack while you make the cheesecake mixture.
- In large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and sugar about 2 minutes until smooth. Add the sour cream, vanilla, and salt and beat together for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each egg.
- Break the remaining cookies in half and gently pulse them in the food processor so that they are still chunky. Stir them into the cheesecake mixture.
- Pour the cheesecake on top of the oreo crust and spread evenly. Then I took about 4 oreos and crumbled them on the very top. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes until the filling is set around the edges and the middle is a little wobbly. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight. Keep them stored in the refrigerator.
