It's getting near Christmas time, and that means I've caught the "baking bug." I plan on making all sorts of delicious treats for my classmates, friends, and family. Jonathan is super excited...he has quite the sweet tooth. Here are some amazing oreo cheesecake bars that I plan on making again soon:
For the crust:
23 Oreo cookies
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake:
12 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
6 tbsp. sugar
6 tbsp. sour cream, at room temperature
½ tsp. vanilla extract
¼ tsp. salt
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9x9 square pan with foil. Crush oreos for crust in a bag or food processor until fine. Add in melted butter and mix until crumbs are moistened. Press crumbs into bottom of baking pan in an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven, and set aside.
To prepare filling, beat cream cheese on medium-high in an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth. Mix in sugar until well combined. Blend in sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Beat in egg and egg yolk until incorporated. Stir in chopped oreos with a rubber spatula. Pour batter over crust and bake 40 minutes (or until edges are set but center is slightly wobbly). Let cool one hour on wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
To serve, lift foil out of pan, peel away from cheesecake, and slice into bars.
