Description

These Red White and Blue Cheesecake Bars boast a rich cream cheese filling, a cookie crust, and vibrant colors, making them a delicious treat for gatherings or celebrations. Simple to prepare, they’re ideal for anyone seeking an easy and unforgettable dessert!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 30 Oreo cookies
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 – 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • red & blue gel food colors

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a 9×13 pan with foil.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies (cream included) until they form crumbs.
  3. Add the melted butter to the cookie crumbs and mix well. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then cool.
  4. Place a large baking sheet filled halfway with water on the bottom rack of the oven. Allow the oven to preheat again.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy. Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour until well combined.
  6. Add the eggs and beat gently until just mixed in.
  7. Divide the batter into three bowls. Using the gel food colors, tint two of the bowls with red and blue food coloring.
  8. Spoon the mixtures into the crust, alternating the colors. Use a butter knife to swirl the colors together gently without overmixing.
  9. Position the pan on the oven rack above the pan of water. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
  10. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 4-6 hours before serving.
  11. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired.

Notes

For a vibrant color, adjust the amount of gel food coloring as desired.
Make sure to let the cheesecake cool completely before cutting for the best texture.
For added decoration, top with fresh berries or whipped cream.
