For the Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 1/2 cups crushed)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Prepare the Oreo crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and smashing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined, then press the mixture firmly and evenly into a greased 8×8 inch baking pan to form the crust.
- Make the creamy filling: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and fold in chocolate chips gently to combine.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the filling over the Oreo crust and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and chill: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Do not overbake; remove bars when filling is slightly jiggly as they firm up when cooling.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly into the pan to prevent crumbly bars.
- Chill the bars before cutting for clean, neat slices.
- Add mix-ins like chocolate chips gently at the end to avoid overmixing.
