When I saw the theme for this month's Baking Bloggers, I asked my coworkers what they wanted me to make. Bite sized desserts are one of the most popular things that I make and bring into work because they're so much easier to share.
They asked for something with Oreos because I hadn't done anything with them in a while. It was pretty easy to choose a recipe after that! Who can say no to cheesecake on top of a brownie? This dessert is rich and decadent and sweet enough that you may only eat one.

#BakingBloggers: Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars
The ultimate decadent dessert: Oreo cookies on top and crumbled into cheesecake on top of a brownie.
Ingredients
For the Brownie Layer:
- 2 ½ sticks unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Cheesecake:
- 2 8 oz. bricks cream cheese softened
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 package Oreos crumbled
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray and place parchment on top, leaving overhang on the edges for easier removal. Lightly spray on top of the parchment too.
- 2. In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter, sugar and cocoa powder until combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time until fully incorporated, then whisk in the vanilla.
- 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and salt, then stir into the butter mixture until no lumps of flour remain.
- 4. Pour into the prepared baking dish and spread brownie batter to the edges.
- 5. Bake for 25 minutes then remove from the oven and place on a wire rack, letting it cool for 20 minutes.
- 6. Meanwhile, prepare the cheesecake mixture by adding the softened cream cheese and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and beating on medium speed until fully combined, about 3 minutes.
- 7. Add in the eggs, one at a time until fully combined, then add in the vanilla.
- 8. Remove 10 of the Oreo cookies from the package and place in a food processor. Pulse until they are fine crumbs. Fold into the cheesecake mixture with a spatula.
- 9. Pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the cooled brownie mixture, spreading to the edges.
- 10. Roughly crumble the remaining Oreo cookies and sprinkle on top of the mixture.
- 11. Bake for 35 minutes or until the mixture is set and just barely jiggly in the center.
- 12. Cool on the counter for 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerate and continue cooling for 2-3 hours.
- 13. Lift the bars out using the overhang of the parchment and slice into squares. Keep refrigerated.
