How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Squares
1. Prepare the Crust
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined square pan. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to set.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and lump-free.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
3. Assemble the Layers
Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust. Sprinkle with crushed Oreo cookies, then add the remaining cheesecake filling on top. Smooth the surface evenly.
4. Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
5. Decorate and Serve
Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top, sprinkle with Oreo crumbs, and garnish with whole Oreo cookies. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Tips for Perfect Results
