Baking Tips
For the cleanest cuts, freeze the bars for 15 minutes before slicing with a hot, clean knife
Allow cream cheese to fully soften at room temperature to avoid lumps in the cream layer
When crushing Oreos for the crust, include the filling for added sweetness and binding
For a firmer filling, add 1 envelope (2.5 teaspoons) of unflavored gelatin bloomed in 2 tablespoons water
Store bars in the refrigerator, but allow them to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for optimal texture
Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache for better melting properties and flavor
If ganache becomes too firm to spread, warm it gently over a double boiler
For a minty variation, use Mint Oreos and add 1/4 teaspoon mint extract to the cream layer
The bars can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator
For cleaner layers, chill each layer thoroughly before adding the next

Instructions

01
Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
02
Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse 24 Oreo cookies (with filling) until finely crushed. Add melted butter and a pinch of salt, then pulse until mixture resembles wet sand.
03
Press the cookie mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to compact the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the cream layer.
04
For the cream layer: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined and no lumps remain.
05
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
06
Fold in the roughly chopped Oreo cookies, being careful not to overmix to maintain cookie chunk integrity.
07
Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Use an offset spatula to smooth the top. Return to refrigerator while preparing the ganache.
08
For the chocolate ganache: Place finely chopped chocolate in a heat-resistant bowl. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
09
Pour hot cream over chocolate and let stand for 1 minute. Gently whisk until smooth. Add butter and vanilla, stirring until glossy and completely incorporated.
10
Allow ganache to cool for about 10 minutes, then pour over the cream layer, tilting the pan if necessary to ensure even coverage.
11
Immediately sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the ganache before it sets. Add optional white chocolate drizzle or chocolate curls if desired.
12
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight until completely set.
13
To serve, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. With a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts, slice into 16 bars or desired size.
