🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Pan

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for lifting.

Step 2: Make the Oreo Crust

In a bowl, mix crushed Oreos with melted butter until evenly moistened.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream (or heavy cream).

Fold in chopped Oreos if using.

Step 4: Assemble & Bake

Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until:

  • The edges are set

  • The center slightly jiggles

Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the bars cool inside for 20 minutes.
