Oreo Strawberry Cheesecake Bars
Description
There’s something magical about the combination of buttery Golden Oreos, creamy cheesecake, and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
For the Golden Oreo Crust:
- 24 Golden Oreo cookies (finely crushed)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
For the Strawberry Swirl:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a food processor, pulse Golden Oreos until finely crushed. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Swirl
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and release their juices.
- Blend or mash the mixture until smooth, then strain out the seeds for a silky swirl. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla extract, then mix in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Stir in sour cream and mix until smooth.
Step 4: Assemble & Swirl
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth it out.
- Drizzle the strawberry puree over the cheesecake and use a knife or toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
Step 5: Bake & Chill
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set (a slight jiggle is okay).
- Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the bars cool inside for 15 minutes. Then transfer to the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).
Step 6: Slice & Serve
- Lift the cheesecake bars out of the pan using the parchment paper.
- Slice into squares and enjoy!
