Supplies
- 9×9 inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowls
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Food processor or plastic bag and rolling pin
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the raspberry swirl:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- For the crumble topping:
- 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they are fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Prepare the raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it into an even layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry mixture onto the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the raspberry mixture into the cheesecake.
- Add the crumble topping: Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled.
- Once chilled, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 bars.
