How to Make Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Bars Recipe
Add about 30 cookies into a blender or food processor and pulse to crush. Do this until you have fine crumbs. Melt your butter in a a microwave safe dish. Add the butter into the crumbs and pulse again.
Use parchment paper to line a 9×13 inch pan and press the crumbs into the dish. Once pressed into the dish, put in the oven at 350 degrees and bake for 45 minutes. Once finished baking, move to a wire rack to cool.
Add the cream cheese into a stand mixer and beat until smooth. Add your sugar and mix until creamy. Then, your yogurt and Vanilla and mix again. Then, one at a time, add in the eggs and blend. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and mix every 15 seconds. Pour the chocolate into the cream cheese mixture and blend on low.
Scrap the sides of your bowl and blend until completely mixed. Pour the cheesecake into the crust and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Put a small oven dish filled with water under the rack, right under the pan to keep your ingredients moist. When done, move the dessert to a rack to cool.
While cooling, take out the Cool Whip and place it on the counter. Put 12 Oreos in a Ziploc bag and use a heavy object to crush them into small chunks. Add the Oreos into the Cool Whip and mix until blended. Add the mixture back into the fridge until the cheesecake is completely cooled. When cooled, evenly spread the Cool Whip mixture over the cheesecake.
Put another 6 Oreos in a Ziploc bag and sprinkle onto the Cool Whip. Put the cheesecake into the fridge until you serve, or overnight to have the best results.
When you get ready to serve, slice into 2×3 inch pieces and put 1 full Oreo into the center of the bar.
Serve and Enjoy!
Is This a No Bake Dessert Recipe?
No this is not a no-bake dessert. There are different baking parts to create this dessert. I do have a few no bake recipes that are similar like No Bake Chocolate Lasagna and Chocolate Mint Cheesecake Mousse {No-Bake}
Can I Make This With Low-Fat Cream Cheese?
While this recipe does not call for low fat cream cheese, you can certainly use low fat cream cheese in place of full fat. You can also use fat free Greek yogurt too.

NOTES: Make sure you set your cream cheese out to soften, about 45 minutes before you're ready to make the dessert. I open the packages when I remove them from the refrigerator, before they're soft, as it's easier to open when they're still firm. Just sit them out on the counter, and they will soften right on the foil package, and there' no mess. ALSO, place the tub of Cool Whip in the refrigerator at the same time. This will allow the Cool Whip time to thaw, and it will be fluffy, and billowy when you're ready to use it. You can definitely make this dessert the day before, and leave it in the refrigerator until time to serve.
Regarding the Greek Yogurt; you can use any brand you prefer, but, I used 'THE GREEK GODS GREEK YOGURT'. It's really thick and rich and creamy, and did wonderfully in the cheesecake.
Makes 12 - 15 servings
