Oreo No-Bake Cheesecake Bars

Cookies-and-cream is my favorite ﬂavor of ice cream, although it has always been a tough draw between that and vanilla with sprinkles. I don’t eat ice cream as often as I should, and when I make these little bars, I am reminded of that ﬂavor from the summers as a kid when we rode our bikes to a little shop, and I’d emerge triumphantly with a heaping scoop of my favorite treat.

With this recipe, you can indulge in a nostalgic trip down memory lane with these delightful Oreo No-Bake Cheesecake Bars. For those who’ve always cherished the classic cookies-and-cream flavor, this dessert is a heartwarming reminder of the simple joys of childhood. The rich and creamy combination of cream cheese, cookies-and-cream ice cream, and everyone’s favorite sandwich cookies, Oreos, creates a delectable treat that’s both easy to make and impossible to resist.

To bring this dessert to life, you’ll need just a few basic ingredients. Start with an 8-ounce package of cream cheese, which serves as the creamy foundation for these bars. Next up, you’ll need a gallon of cookies-and-cream ice cream, a quintessential flavor that captures the essence of cookies swirled into creamy goodness. Finally, gather 10 Oreo cookies to add that perfect cookies-and-cream crunch.

The preparation is a breeze. In a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and cookies-and-cream ice cream. Blend them together on high speed for approximately 5 minutes. This process results in a velvety-smooth mixture that’s both rich and creamy, reminiscent of the beloved cookies-and-cream flavor.

Once your creamy mixture is ready, pour it into a 9-inch cake pan and freeze it for an hour. This step ensures that your bars set and hold their shape when cut into perfect portions. After an hour in the freezer, take the pan out and generously top the dessert with crushed Oreos, adding a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.

When it’s time to serve, dip your knife in hot water to make slicing through the frozen treat a breeze. The end result? Irresistible Oreo No-Bake Cheesecake Bars that encapsulate the sweet memories of childhood summers spent savoring cookies-and-cream ice cream. These bars are not only a delicious treat but also a heartwarming journey down memory lane, transporting you to the days when a simple scoop of your favorite treat brought boundless joy. Enjoy these bars and let them whisk you back to those carefree bike rides and ice cream shop adventures of days gone by.
