Cream Cheese – the foundation of the cheesecake. Provides creaminess, tanginess, and smooth texture.
Lemon Juice – brightens the flavor and balances the richness from the cream cheese and chocolate.
Salt – enhances flavor.
White Chocolate – gives the cheesecake a firmer texture and adds flavor.
Sweetened Condensed Milk – adds structure and sweetness to the cheesecake.
Common Questions
Can I use flavored Oreos?
I have not personally tried flavored Oreos in this recipe because I just love the way the original pairs with the white chocolate cheesecake. That being said, feel free to explore all of the fun flavors that Oreo has and add some extra flair to your cheesecake bars. Peanut butter, chocolate, and java chip Oreos may be some fun flavors to try out. If you do experiment with flavors, I’d love to hear about your results in the comment section at the bottom of this page.
What’s the best way to slice these bars cleanly?
I have found that the best time to slice these bars is after they have cooled, but before they have chilled in the fridge.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can absolutely make these bars ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for a few days before serving. Cheesecake is usually better after the first day; the flavor develops and the texture finishes setting.
