These Cheesecake Bars are loaded with crushed Oreo cookies at the base and Oreo Cookies scattered throughout the cheesecake with a layer of chocolate ganache cream on top (refer here for ganache cream recipe). I also top it with cute chocolate panda that I bought from the shop (here). The combinations are so perfect that I’ve to bake a second batch the next day.
- Ingredients:
- Line 8 x 8 x 1 1/2 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Cake Base – lined and greased baking pan
- 160g Oreo cookies, remove the cream and crush it or grind coarsely
- 80g Melted butter or add a little more if needed
- Mix crushed Oreo cookies with butter and press them firmly on the base of the prepared pan and chill in the refrigerator for later use.
- Cream Cheese filling:
- 250g Cream cheese (room temperature)
- 70g Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Fresh milk
- 100ml Sour cream/natural yoghurt
- 3 tbsp Plain flour – sifted
- 70g Oreo cookies, remove cream and break into quarters, alternatively you can break the whole Oreo together with the cream if got a sweet tooth
Method:
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add sour cream, milk and vanilla extract, mix well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each just until blended and add 3 tbsp sifted flour into it and mix well.
- Lastly add in Oreo cookies and fold in with a rubber spatula and pour into prepared baking pan.
- Bake at pre-heated oven at 150 degrees C for about 30 minutes.
- Leave cheesecake to cool completely. Spread chocolate ganache cream on it and decorate as desire or just dust some icing sugar on top.
- Chill cheesecake for few hours before serve.
- Note: For perfect slices, dip your knife in hot water and quickly dry it off before each cut
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
