Description

Rich, creamy, and loaded with chocolate, these no-bake cheesecake bars are a chocoholic’s dream come true.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 18 Oreo cookies
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate, melted

For the Filling:

  • 4 ounces brick-style cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional but recommended)

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan:
    • Line a 9ร—9-inch pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Make the Crust:
    • In a food processor, add the Oreo cookies (whole) and pulse on high speed until finely ground into crumbs.
    • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate together, stirring until smooth.
    • Pour the melted mixture into the food processor with the Oreo crumbs and process until well combined.
    • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form an even crust layer. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Gradually add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese, beating until well combined.
    • Add the heavy whipping cream, Baileys or Kahlua (if using), and salt. Beat the mixture until light and fluffy.
  4. Assemble the Bars:
    • Spread the chocolate cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust.
    • Sprinkle the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top.
  5. Chill:
    • Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
  6. Serve:
    • Once set, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the foil overhang.
    • Cut into 16 squares and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth filling.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
