Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or heavy cream (optional)

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a rolling pin or pulsing them in a food processor. Mix crumbs thoroughly with melted butter until combined. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined baking pan. Refrigerate the crust while making the filling to set it firmly.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream or heavy cream if using. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which helps prevent cracks during baking.
  3. Bake the Base Layers: Pour cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes or until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly, ensuring a creamy yet firm texture.
  4. Cool and Add the Strawberries: Let the bars cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to fully set. Once chilled, neatly arrange thinly sliced fresh strawberries on top, gently pressing them to adhere without sinking into the cheesecake filling.
  5. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry to cut clean squares or rectangles. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Mix cheesecake batter gently to avoid cracks or dense texture.
  • Chill bars thoroughly to allow them to set properly and meld flavors.
  • Use a warm, clean knife for neat slices without damaging crust or filling.
  • Use ripe, firm fresh strawberries to keep the topping appealing and juicy.
