Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) package Oreos with filling, divided
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Place 24 Oreos in a food processor or blender and pulse into fine crumbs.
- In a bowl, mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth (about 2 minutes). Add sugar, salt, and Greek yogurt; mix well, scraping sides as needed.
- Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Crush remaining Oreos (except 3 reserved) in a sealed plastic bag. Fold into the cheesecake batter.
- Pour cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until edges are set and center is just slightly wobbly.
- Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Crush the 3 reserved Oreos into small pieces for topping.
- Remove cheesecake from the pan using foil and place on a cutting board. Slice into bars.
- Melt chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in separate bowls in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Transfer melted chocolates to separate plastic bags, snip off a corner, and drizzle over bars. Sprinkle with reserved crushed Oreos. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Chill thoroughly for clean slicing and best texture.
- Substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt if preferred.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
- Drizzle chocolate just before serving for best presentation.
