Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 18 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate, melted
Filling
- 4 ounces brick-style cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional, recommended to taste)
Topping
- 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter and melted dark chocolate until combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the chocolate filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the melted dark chocolate to the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate and cream cheese mixture until well combined. Stir in Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua if using, and add salt to taste to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Assemble the bars: Pour the chocolate cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the surface.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake bars for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the filling to firm up completely.
- Serve: Once fully set, cut into 9-12 bars and serve chilled. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- For a boozy kick, Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua is optional but highly recommended.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and smooth texture.
- Press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling when serving.
- This recipe requires at least 4 hours of chilling, so plan ahead.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for best flavor.
