Cool and creamy Oreo bars made in just 20 minutes—perfect for summer or any time you crave a sweet treat.

# What You’ll Need to Cook:

→ Crust

01 - 20 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
02 - 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - Pinch of salt (optional)

→ Filling

04 - 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
05 - 1 cup heavy cream, cold
06 - 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Topping (optional)

08 - Crushed Oreo cookies
09 - Chocolate sauce drizzle
10 - Fresh berries
11 - Whipped cream

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a sealed plastic bag and rolling pin. Combine crumbs with melted butter and optional pinch of salt until mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to set.
02 - Beat room-temperature cream cheese on low speed until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
03 - Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust using a spatula. Smooth the surface and tap the pan to release air bubbles.
04 - Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, ideally 6–8 hours, to ensure proper setting.
05 - Top with crushed Oreos, chocolate drizzle, berries, or whipped cream as desired. Slice with a hot, clean knife for neat edges. Serve chilled.

# Extra Cooking Tips:

01 - For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and ensure all ingredients are at the proper temperature before mixing.
02 - To prevent lumps, avoid overmixing and use sifted powdered sugar.
