Ingredients
18 Oreo cookies
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon dark chocolate, melted
4 ounces brick-style cream cheese, softened
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua (optional)
½ teaspoon salt (optional, but recommended for flavor balance)
½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 9×9-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a food processor, process the Oreo cookies until fine crumbs form.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine melted butter and 1 tablespoon of melted dark chocolate. Heat until smooth.
- Combine the melted butter-chocolate mixture with the Oreo crumbs in the food processor, then press the mixture into the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped dark chocolate and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth (about 90 seconds).
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the cream cheese and beat until smooth and fully combined.
- If desired, add Baileys or Kahlua and salt. Beat until incorporated.
- Spread the creamy chocolate mixture evenly over the crust in the pan.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Chill the cheesecake bars for at least 3 hours or overnight to set.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
Optional liqueurs like Baileys or Kahlua can add depth of flavor, but they are not necessary.
If you prefer a sweeter dessert, substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate.
Feel free to add other toppings like crushed nuts, caramel drizzle, or white chocolate chips.
