Golden Oreo Strawberry Cheesecake Bars


 

Ingredients


3 Tbls unsalted butter, melted


24 golden Oreos, divided


1¼ Cup strawberries, medium dice


1 Tbls sugar


1 Tbls water


2 tsp lemon juice, fresh squeezed


½ tsp cornstarch


8 oz cream cheese, softened


⅓ Cup sour cream


⅓ Cup sugar


½ tsp vanilla extract


1 large egg


Instructions


* Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place half the golden Oreos in a food processor. Pulse until it forms crumbs, add in the melted butter and pulse again until crumbs are covered in butter.


* Press crumbs into an 8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper (or foil if you’re out of parchment paper!). Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, take out and let cool on the counter.


* Place strawberries in the pot with 1 Tbls sugar and 1 Tbls water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes until soft. You should stir this every few minutes.


* Combine lemon juice with cornstarch and stir into mixture and simmer an additional minute until thickened. Place strawberry mixture in food processor and pulse until smooth. Place in a bowl and set aside.


* Place cream cheese, sour cream, remaining sugar, vanilla and egg in food processor.


* Pulse until smooth and combined. Place on top of Oreo crust.


* Pour half of the strawberry sauce on top of cheesecake. Use remaining sauce however you wish, I like adding it to lemonade, yum! Bake at 325 degrees for 36 minutes or until cheesecake is just slightly jiggly.


* Take out of the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Crush remaining Oreos and sprinkle on top, gently pushing into the bars.


* Place in a fridge covered and let sit for at least 3 hours until cutting into squares.


* Take out of the pan and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!!
