Ingredients
  

24 Oreo cookies (plus extra for topping)

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 cups cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

Pinch of salt

Optional: chocolate drizzle for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Using a food processor, finely crush the 24 Oreo cookies until they resemble coarse sand. Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is well combined and has a texture similar to damp sand.

    Form the base: Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9x9-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup or your fingers, press the crumbs evenly and firmly to form a solid base. Once done, pop the dish in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

      Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. Gradually sprinkle in the powdered sugar and continue mixing until the sugar is fully integrated.

        Add flavor enhancers: Stir in the vanilla extract along with a pinch of salt. These ingredients will elevate the overall flavor of the cheesecake.

          Incorporate the whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three additions. Be cautious during this step to preserve the light and airy texture of the whipped cream.

            Mix in extra Oreos: Take a few additional Oreo cookies and crush them coarsely. Gently fold these into the cheesecake filling to add texture and enhance the Oreo flavor.

              Assemble the bars: Remove the crust from the freezer. Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust, using a spatula to smooth it out evenly.

                Chill the cheesecake: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing it to set. For the best results, refrigerate overnight.

                  Serve the bars: Once fully set, lift the cheesecake out of the baking dish using the edges of the parchment paper (if used for easier removal). Slice into bars and top with extra crushed Oreos and a chocolate drizzle if desired.

                    Enjoy: Serve the Oreo cheesecake dream bars chilled and savor the creamy, dreamy delight with every bite!
