Dairy and Cream Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Meticulously line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhanging edges for effortless extraction.
- Gently spread the pre-prepared cookie dough across the pan’s base, creating an even, uniform foundation.
- Strategically arrange Oreo cookies in a complete, overlapping pattern atop the cookie dough layer, ensuring full coverage.
- Utilize an electric mixer to whip cream cheese and sugar into a velvety, lump-free consistency.
- Introduce eggs individually, thoroughly incorporating each before adding the next, creating a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Delicately blend vanilla extract and sour cream into the cream cheese base, maintaining a silky texture.
- Carefully fold chocolate chips throughout the cream cheese mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Tenderly cascade the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo-covered cookie dough, ensuring complete and gentle coverage.
- Position the assembled dessert in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C), allowing it to bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Verify doneness by observing set edges with a subtle jiggle in the center.
- Remove from oven and permit the bars to cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to achieve optimal firmness and flavor melding.
- Slice into elegant bars, revealing the decadent layers of cookie, Oreo, and creamy cheesecake.
Notes
- Chill the cream cheese at room temperature to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture when beating.
- Crush some extra Oreos and sprinkle on top before baking for added crunch and visual appeal.
- Use a clean, sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry for clean-cut bars that look professionally made.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular cookie dough and Oreos with gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions.
