No Bake Oreo Cheesecake bars. Crushed Oreos for the base. A smooth mix of white chocolate, cream cheese, and Oreo chunks for the filling. And the topping is scattered Oreos, and dark chocolate. And you don't have to bake it. You already know you’re going to like this one.
This has been a challenging post to write. Challenging for three reasons:
– I don't know how to describe Oreos.
– I don't know how to shoehorn a link to one of my previous posts into this one.
– I don't know how to not eat all my Oreos during prep.
So I'm going to do what I always do when something feels a little overwhelming. I'm going to compartmentalise, and break down my bigger task into smaller ones. And to help with that, I present-HEADINGS! (Yes, bestie, I genuinely do find headings that exciting.)
What are Oreos?
You know what Oreos are.
You should know that they're sweet. Delicious. But very sweet. And that was actually a challenge while testing this recipe. My initial versions were just far too sweet. Don't worry though, I've toned that down by rebalancing the very technical Oreo to white chocolate to cheesecake ratio, and by drizzling dark chocolate all over the top of the final product. I know, I know. Where does such genius come from? Probably my stomach.
Want to use the same Oreo cookie base in another chilled, sliceable pie? Try this chocolate cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust.
What Should I Do if I Ate My First Box of Oreos?
You know, I feel I shouldn't tell you what to do. Instead I'll share what I did. I bought another box of Oreosโฆ.which I also ate. So I bought two more boxes of Oreos. And I ate one of them, while using the other for this recipe. (Oh, and I should mention quickly… you don’t have to use actual Oreos for this recipe. Any similar Cookies & Cream type biscuit will work just dandy.)
Now go eat these delicious Oreo Cheesecake Bars! No baking required. Go!

Hello! This recipe of yours is amazing! I would just like to find out if it’s possible to replace the white chocolate with 90% dark chocolate?
Riz
Hey Edith! Thanks so much for your comment. Yes, you can absolutely swap in dark chocolate (though the flavour will, of course, be completely different).

Claire @foodiequine
I am drooling at these! Really like the idea of using dark chocolate and cream cheese to tone down the sweetness. A very sophistocated no bake cake.
Riz
Aww, thanks Claire!
