Ingredients
- Oreo cookies, divided: Used for both the crust and filling, adding that classic cookies and cream bars flavor.
- Unsalted butter, melted: Helps bind the crushed cookies together for a firm crust.
- Cream cheese, softened: Creates a rich, smooth, and creamy base for the filling.
- Powdered sugar, divided: Sweetens the layers while keeping the texture light and smooth.
- Heavy cream: Whips up to add a light, airy texture to the filling. Vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor with a warm, sweet note.
Step By Step Instructions
- Step 1. Go ahead and put a metal mixing bowl in the fridge or freezer to chill for whipping the heavy cream.
Step 2. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse into coarse crumbs. You can also use a blender.
Step 3. Then add the melted butter and pulse until combined with the cookie crumbs.
Step 4. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and firmly press into an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 5. While the crust chills, get out a large bowl. Then beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until fluffy.
Step 6. Beat heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This should take about 2 minutes.
Step 7. Next, carefully fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until combined. Then crush Oreo cookies and stir them into the filling.
Step 8. Evenly spread the filling over the chilled crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 9. Finally, crush the remaining Oreo cookies and sprinkle over the top before serving. Then cut and serve.
Storage
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.
- Keep chilled: These bars are best served cold to maintain their structure.
- Freezer option: Freeze for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Pro Tips
- Use full-fat cream cheese: This gives the filling the best flavor and structure. Low-fat versions can make the bars softer and less rich.
- Soften cream cheese properly: Let it sit at room temperature to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth filling.
- Crush Oreos finely for the crust: This helps the crust hold together better when sliced.
- Press crust firmly: Use the bottom of a glass to pack it tightly so it doesn’t crumble.
- Whip cream to stiff peaks: This helps create a light, stable filling that sets well.
- Fold gently: Mix the whipped cream into the filling carefully to keep it light and airy.
- Chill long enough: Let the bars set for at least 4 hours (or overnight) for clean slices.
- Use a sharp knife to cut: Wipe between cuts for neat, bakery-style bars.
- Line your pan: Use parchment paper for easy removal and slicing.
- Extra Oreos on top: For a more decorative and crunchy finish.
