This COOKIES AND CREAM CHEESECAKE is beyond simple with no special cake pans needed! These cheesecake bars have an Oreo crust and the creamy filling has extra crushed Oreo cookies throughout!
My husband has always been a big fan of cookies and cream ice cream and cheesecake, and I’ve always been a big fan of making him food that he loves. 😉
It’s only taken me nine years of marriage to come up with the idea of combining his favorite ice cream with his favorite dessert.
I was both pleasantly surprised and quite dismayed to realize that Oreo cheesecake is quite possibly the best dessert out there.
Pleasantly surprised because I’m normally not a fan of cookies and cream unless it’s just a plain ol’ Oreo dunked in a big glass of icy cold milk, and dismayed because I couldn’t stop sneaking into the kitchen to take just one more bite.
This cheesecake is dangerous. That’s okay though, because life is pretty boring without a bit of danger.
How to make Oreo cheesecake:
Crust: Crush 28 Oreo cookies, including the creamy filling, into crumbs. Pour the Oreo crumbs into a 9×13 pan and dump on some melted butter. Stir it around to coat the crumbs in the butter and then press the mixture into the bottom of your pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
Filling: Beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it’s nice and creamy. Mix in eggs one at a time. Don’t overmix the batter! Crumble the extra Oreo cookies into the batter and give it a quick stir.
Bake: Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 35 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Chill: Cool on the counter for an hour and then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

Hi Karly!
thanks for answering my questions in my previous comment! I have gone to the supermarket and bought all the ingredients but i still have one question! In Australia, a package of oreo contains 2 standard pack of oreo biscuits – and that is about 28 biscuits in that package. im guessing i need more than that since i already need 28 biscuits to make up the base! would u be able to tell me how many biscuits did u use in the cream cheese mixture so i know how many to buy! 🙂
thanks again!

but ur post might have just changed my mind!! and it looks so easy to make too!! looks fantastic!!
one question: for the crust – do u only crush the biscuits of the oreo or u use the whole oreo biscuits including the white filling?

There’s a chocolate chip cheesecake dip out there, too. It looks like (well, it is) a cheesball, and it is excellent with those graham cracker sticks.
Personally, I have pumpkin cheesecake this week. Storebought. My personal attempt was gross.
