Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Oreo Crust:

  • 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream

For the Topping:

  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Fresh strawberries and blackberries for garnish
  • Shaved dark chocolate (optional)

Ingredient Notes & Swaps

  • Oreo crumbs: You can crush whole cookies (filling included).
  • Sour cream: Greek yogurt can be substituted for similar creaminess.
  • Chocolate: Dark chocolate creates a deeper, less sweet ganache.
  • Berries: Raspberries also pair beautifully with chocolate.

For an extra chocolate boost, stir mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake batter.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the Crust

Mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and sour cream until creamy.

4. Bake

Pour cheesecake filling over cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.

5. Chill

Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.

6. Add Strawberries

Arrange sliced strawberries evenly over the chilled cheesecake.

7. Make Ganache

Heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.

8. Finish

Drizzle ganache over strawberries and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set before slicing into bars.

Tips for Perfect Cheesecake Bars

  • Don’t overmix once eggs are added — it can cause cracks.
  • Chill thoroughly before slicing for clean edges.
  • Use a warm knife (wipe between cuts) for neat slices.
  • Allow ganache to cool slightly before drizzling for better control.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

These bars are rich and indulgent, so they pair beautifully with lighter or brunch-style dishes.

Serve alongside:

If you’re hosting a gathering with both savory and sweet dishes, balance the richness with something simple like Easy Classic Pasta Salad for Any Gathering.
