Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (280g)
- 5 tbsp (70g) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain and strained
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (115g)
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Mix the 280g crushed Oreos and 70g melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan using the back of a spoon.
- Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the base.
- Beat the 450g softened cream cheese and 60g powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until completely smooth and aerated.
- Mix in 120g Greek yogurt and 5ml vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure no lumps remain.
- In a separate chilled bowl, beat 240ml cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula with a slow under-and-over motion to maintain aeration.
- Gently stir in 115g chopped Oreo pieces until evenly distributed.
- Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Using a hot knife (dipped in hot water and wiped dry), slice the block into 12 clean squares.
