Ingredients

  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped or sliced
  • 1/3 cup strawberry preserves or jam
  • Optional: melted chocolate or chocolate chips for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Mix crushed cookies and melted butter. Press firmly into bottom of pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until combined. Mix in eggs one at a time, then sour cream or yogurt.
  4. Pour filling over crust and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until center is set but slightly jiggly. Cool to room temp, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. In a small bowl, combine strawberry preserves and fresh strawberries. Spread over chilled cheesecake layer.
  6. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired. Slice into bars and serve.

Notes

  • Use graham crackers or chocolate graham crackers instead of sandwich cookies for crust variation.
  • Mix chocolate chips into the cheesecake filling for extra richness.
  • Top with raspberries or mixed berries for variety.
  • Freeze individually wrapped bars for up to 2 months.
  • Use a clean, sharp knife for neat slices. Chill thoroughly before cutting.
