Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Golden Oreos (about 36 cookies), crushed
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¾ cup strawberry jam or compote
- ½ cup chopped strawberries (optional)
- Extra Golden Oreo pieces, crumbled or halved for topping
Instructions
- Make the Crust: Mix crushed Golden Oreos with melted butter until sandy. Press firmly into a parchment-lined 9×13 pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes.
- Whip Up the Cheesecake Layer: Beat cream cheese until silky, then add sugar, vanilla, eggs, and lemon juice. Pour over baked crust.
- Swirl It Up: Drop spoonfuls of strawberry jam over the cheesecake layer. Swirl gently with a knife or toothpick. Add chopped strawberries if using.
- Top with Oreos & Bake: Sprinkle crushed or halved Golden Oreos right on top. Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
- Chill & Slice: Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
- These bars are best served cold.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, use fresh strawberries in addition to the jam.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
