Description

Death-By-Chocolate No Bake Cheesecake Bars are a rich, creamy, decadent dessert loaded with layers of chocolate flavor. This easy no-bake make-ahead treat is perfect for serious chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

  • 18 Oreo cookies
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate, melted
  • 4 ounces brick-style cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, optional but recommended
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×9-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Set aside.
  3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the melted butter and 1 tablespoon dark chocolate. Heat until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the food processor with the Oreo crumbs and process until combined.
  5. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form an even crust layer. Set aside.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a handheld mixer until fluffy. Set aside.
  7. In a separate large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and heavy whipping cream. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  8. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the bowl with the cream cheese and beat until fully smooth and combined.
  9. Mix in the Baileys or Kahlua and salt, if using.
  10. Spread the chocolate cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust.
  11. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled and set, before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not cover the bars immediately after refrigerating, as condensation can form while the filling is still warm. Once fully chilled, cover with foil.
  • These cheesecake bars can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
