Description

These Red White and Blue Cheesecake Bars are a delightful treat with an Oreo crust and creamy filling. Their vibrant colors and rich flavors make them perfect for any celebration. Easy to prepare, this recipe is sure to impress family and friends at your next gathering!

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 your oven to 325 degrees F and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with foil.
  2. In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies (cream included) until they turn into crumbs.
  3. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter thoroughly, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool.
  4. On the bottom rack of the oven, place a large baking sheet filled halfway with water to create steam, and let the oven preheat again.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth. Mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour, beating until combined.
  6. Add the eggs and gently beat until just mixed.
  7. Divide the batter into three bowls. Use the gel food colors to tint two of them red and blue while keeping one bowl plain.
  8. Spoon the layers evenly over the crust, alternating the colored mixtures. Use a butter knife to swirl the colors gently for a marbled effect without overmixing.
  9. Place the cheesecake pan on the oven rack above the water-filled baking sheet and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Once done, remove it from the oven and set on a wire rack.
  10. Allow the cheesecake to cool for 1 hour on the counter, then refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours before serving.
  11. Cut into squares and enjoy, adding whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth batter.
Swirling colors should be done gently to maintain the color separation.
Refrigerate for a longer time for better flavor enhancement.
