Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:
- 32 Oreo cookies (about one standard package)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 12 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: Place 32 Oreos in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Mix crumbs with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Whip the cream: In a large chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Make the filling: In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until creamy.
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Once mostly combined, fold in the 12 coarsely chopped Oreo cookies.
- Assemble: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top and garnish with additional Oreo crumbs or pieces.
- Chill: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until completely set.
- Serve: Use a sharp knife to slice into bars. For clean cuts, wipe the knife with a hot, damp towel between slices.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Do not overmix after adding the whipped cream to keep the filling light. The long chill time is essential for the bars to set properly for slicing. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
