Rich, decadent, and incredibly easy Death-By-Chocolate No Bake Cheesecake Bars feature an Oreo crust and a silky smooth chocolate cheesecake filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 Oreo cookies
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate melted
  • 4 ounces brick-style cream cheese softened
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate chopped
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt optional and to taste but recommended
  • ½ 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 whole Oreos to a food processor.
  3. Process on high speed until you have fine crumbs.
  4. Add the butter and 1 tablespoon dark chocolate to a small microwave-safe bowl.
  5. Heat on high power in 30-second increments until the chocolate and butter have melted and can be stirred smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the food processor with the Oreo crumbs.
  7. Process on high speed to incorporate.
  8. Turn the crumb mixture out into the prepared pan.
  9. Hard-pack the mixture to form an even, flat crust layer; set aside.
  10. Add the softened cream cheese to a large mixing bowl.
  11. Beat with a handheld electric mixer on high speed until fluffy; set aside.
  12. Add the 8 ounces chopped dark chocolate and heavy cream to a separate, large, microwave-safe bowl.
  13. Heat in 30-second increments until the chocolate has melted and can be stirred smooth into the cream, and the mixture is silky (about 90 seconds total).
  14. Transfer the creamy chocolate mixture into the bowl with the cream cheese.
  15. Beat on high power until smooth and combined.
  16. Optionally, add the liquor and/or salt and beat to combine.
  17. Evenly spread the mixture over the crust.
  18. Evenly sprinkle with the mini chocolate chips.
  19. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight, before slicing and serving.
  20. After the 3-hour point and once well chilled, cover with foil when the dessert is in the fridge.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
Finely chop dark chocolate for easier, even melting.
A pinch of salt in the filling enhances chocolate flavor, don’t skip it!
For clean slices, chill bars thoroughly and use a hot, wiped knife.
