Decadent Oreo Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients

- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreos, crushed
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream, for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving excess paper hanging over the sides for easy removal later.

2. Make the Oreo Crust
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and granulated sugar. Pour the melted butter over and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

3. Create the Peanut Butter Layer
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.

4. Add Cream and Flavorings
- Gradually add 3/4 cup of the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt to the peanut butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until well combined and creamy.

5. Spread and Chill
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled Oreo crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

6. Prepare Whipped Topping
- In a small mixing bowl, whip the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Top the chilled bars with dollops of whipped cream just before serving.

7. Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into squares and serve.
