Classic chocolate cheesecake bars are taken to a whole new level. Creamy white chocolate cheesecake is sandwiched between a chocolate chip oreo crust and silky smooth chocolate ganache. It’s a triple chocolate deliciousness!
Happy Cheesecake Day!!
Cheesecake day, just like Chocolate day, is one of those days I have it written in my calendar next to family birthdays. I do love chocolate and cheesecake is my #1 dessert choice.
I hope, even if after the 50 cheesecake recipes I shared with you in my last post, you’re still in the mood for some cheesecake.
Rich, decadent, creamy dreamy triple chocolate cheesecake bars!
These chocolate cheesecake bars are one of my family favorites. I’ve made them several times for different occasions and all the time I’ve been asked for seconds. Even took them one time to a church gathering and everyone loved them!
Although I do love cheesecake I prefer making cheesecake bars instead of a big 9 inch round cheesecake. Seems to me it takes less effort and time to make the bars and I can enjoy them even faster! Plus it’s easier to grab one cheesecake bars than a cheesecake slice, right?
The crust is made from a ready to bake Oreo pie crust mixed with butter, ground almonds and chocolate chips and chilled for a few minutes.
While the crust is in the fridge, it’s time to make the filling. Creamy white chocolate cheesecake filling.
Between the chocolate chips oreo crust and the rich chocolate ganache, the white chocolate cheesecake filling (which only has 4 ingredients!!!) not only brings color contrast but also balances the rich dark chocolate flavor perfectly.

Aww… Happy Cheesecake Day, Roxy! I just adore cheesecake and chocolate, too. LOVE that you made these bars with a white chocolate cheesecake filling. They look incredibly tasty! Nom! Pinning! xo
YUM!! I love chocolate cheesecake anything 🙂
Oh what a perfect way to celebrate. These look awesome Roxana!
Roxana, these bars have my mouth watering. They look so creamy and delicious. Happy cheesecake day!
These bars look incredible, so perfect for cheesecake day!
that chocolate glaze on top is just about all i can take. One look and I am hooked and I must make this for my husband who is obsessed to say the least with cheesecake
I totally need a food calendar. I am not a huge fan of plain cheesecake but spruce it up with chocolate and you better watch out.
I’m craving cheesecake, and I don’t even like cheesecake! gorgeous
These bars sound incredible! Love that dark chocolate ganache layer!
I am always in the mood for cheesecake and chocolate! I think these are spectacular. Thick and creamy with lots of chocolate on top!
These are absolutely gorgeous, Roxana! Delicious, decadent and I’m sure impossible to stop at one. Wonderful recipe!
Do you know that cheesecake is my number one cake? We have it in Poland as well but it’s nothing like the American one. Love it love it love it.
These chocolate cheesecake bars look wonderful. When you say to use an Oreo pie crust and mix with the other ingredients, do you mean a pre-made pie crust, then crush it and add to other ingredients? Or crush Oreos and and them mix with all ingredients. If I use Oreos, how many would you suggest? Thank you.
Hi Kathy,
A pie crust is one of those store bought Oreo pie crust and I just crumbled it with the other ingredients. If you’re using Oreos, I don’t know exactly how many but a pie crust weights 170 grams. Also, make sure you remove the cream from the cookies 🙂

I’m drooling all over everywhere, these look so good!
THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!!
Everything looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Luscious. Just simply divine. What a great treat and would make cheesecake lovers very, very happy.
On the Oreo Cheecake bars…for the ganache; by ‘dark chocolate’ do you mean semi-sweet chocolate ???
Dark chocolate is unsweetened chocolate, usually over 80% cocoa content.
Roxana
So, the half cup of sugar is for the ganache, not the filling.
It is heated with the heavy cream?
M
The sugar is for the filling. If you don’t like dark chocolate, you could use semi-sweet chocolate, but since the cheesecake filing is sweet it balances with the unsweetened ganache.
Roxana
I will use Bittersweet Chocolate which has 70-80% cocoa.
Thanx for your replies.

While i have just come upon your blog/recipe heaven, i was wondering why you use “cups” for cream cheese and an oreo pie crust rather than chocolate cookie crumbs/crushed oreo cookies. Usually recipes have asked for cream cheese by ounce or by the block (8 oz.) and cookie crumbs. I am going to buy the crust crush it and measure it for the next time. I buy the Oreos at Sam’s club in bulk ($7 for 10 individually packaged rows) then use a food processor to make the crumbs in bulk and just store them in a ziplock bag for the next couple of recipes. I do this with graham crackers too. I am looking forward to making this recipe for a ladies event tomorrow and hope to try the apple bars real soon.
Keep the recipes coming. Thanks
Hi Carrie,
Thanks for stopping by.
To answer your questions : I prefer to list the ingredients in cups and grams. I think it’s just a preference. If you’re having a hard time figuring out how much cream cheese to use, 12 oz is the answer. Or 1 1/2 8oz block.
As for the Oreo Pie crust – you will need 170 grams. I mentioned that in the recipe. I try not to buy too many Oreos since I end up eating them before getting around to use them in a recipe. Buying the pie crust prevents me to do so.
Hope I answered your questions and I hope your lady friends will enjoy these cheesecake bars
