Description
Creamy and decadent white chocolate raspberry cheesecake bars with a sweet Oreo cookie crust, marbled with vibrant raspberry sauce. Easier than a full cheesecake, these bars are perfect for entertaining or make-ahead treats.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons water, divided
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups (205 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
- 22 regular Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons (71 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 6 ounces (170 g) white chocolate, finely chopped
- 16 ounces (452 g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (8 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon water with cornstarch. In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and 1 teaspoon water over medium heat. Simmer and mash the berries. Stir in cornstarch mixture and cook 3 minutes until thickened. Strain and cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
- Pulse Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and press into pan. Pre-bake for 8 minutes. Leave oven on.
- Melt white chocolate gently and let cool slightly (not firm).
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add flour, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Mix in eggs one at a time, then blend in cooled white chocolate.
- Pour half the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drizzle half the raspberry sauce on top. Add remaining filling and swirl in remaining sauce with a toothpick.
- Bake 32–36 minutes until set and lightly golden at the edges. Cool for 45 minutes, then refrigerate at least 3 hours before slicing.
- Use parchment overhang to lift out and slice into bars.
Notes
- Use baking bar white chocolate for best melting results.
- Frozen raspberries work—no need to thaw.
- Graham crackers or Biscoff cookies can replace Oreos.
- Chill thoroughly and wipe knife between cuts for clean slices.
- The bars are served cold and should not be reheated.
