Ingredients

Scale

For the Oreo Crust

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Optional Toppings

  • Strawberry glaze or jam, for drizzling
  • Melted dark or white chocolate, for drizzle
  • Fresh strawberry slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, then mix with melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of a lined baking pan to form a firm, chocolatey crust. Chill briefly while preparing the filling.
  2. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add granulated sugar, eggs one at a time, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries for bursts of juicy flavor throughout the filling.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. Allow to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to fully set.
  4. Slice and Serve: Lift the cheesecake slab out using the parchment paper. Cut into bars with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges. Optionally drizzle strawberry glaze or melted chocolate on top. Serve chilled for the best balance of creamy, crunchy, and fruity flavors.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Mix filling ingredients until just combined to prevent cracking during baking.
  • Press the Oreo crust firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling when slicing.
  • Chill cheesecake bars thoroughly for at least 4 hours for best texture and flavor.
  • Dip knife in hot water and dry before slicing bars to achieve clean, professional edges.
