Cheesecake Squares! These are the perfect size decadent dessert. They are so dense and rich that anything bigger might be too much for one sitting. I’ve made them before with peanut butter cups, Snickers and Kit Kats, too … but these are a little bit taller and made with more filling.
Not to mention, each one is topped off with chocolate ganache, whipped cream and a full-size Oreo cookie. It’s a lot … but also just right in a roughly 2-inch square treat.
Let’s get into it…
To make these, you’ll want to start off with an Oreo cookie crust. Crush the cookies into crumbs and mix with sugar and melted butter,
Press the mixture flat into an 8X8 or 6X9 inch baking dish. Pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes to bake and when cool, you are ready to fill it with deliciousness.
Stir a few tablespoons of cookie crumbs and a dozen or so cookies (broken into small pieces) into the cheesecake filling and spread evenly into the dish – then bake for about an hour.
When the cheesecake has baked and is mostly cool, whip up the chocolate ganache.
Pour all that glorious ganache right on top and spread evenly. When the ganache has set, chill the cheesecake for several hours or overnight.
When chilled and firm, cut into squares and leave them in the pan until you are ready to enjoy. I love using a glass baking dish with lid for these so I can share them or snack on them for several days.
Another thing I love? – the thick layer of cookie crust, matched with a thick layer of ganache – and sandwiched in between is very dense cookies and cream cheesecake. I like mine on the thick side as opposed to creamy and these are just that.
Want to take them over the top? I mean why not.
Well, just pipe on a swirl of whipped cream and add a cookie or cookie half right on top.
A family pack of Oreos contains 48 cookies - enough for this recipe using cookie halves to garnish the tops of the cookies. If you want whole cookies on the top of each square, purchase two regular size packages. They hold 36 cookies.

That swirl is absolute perfection! ? Cookies and cream is such a classic, but doing them in square form makes them look so much more snackable. Definitely adding these to my weekend baking list!
These cheesecake squares sound amazing. The Oreo crust with a rich cheesecake filling already sounds perfect, and adding ganache, whipped cream, and a full Oreo on top makes it even more tempting. The smaller square size is also a great idea since cheesecake can be quite rich.

These cookies & cream cheesecake squares look absolutely delicious — what a perfect treat idea!. It also got me craving some comfort food, like my go-to from the Jollibee menu. Their Chickenjoy, Yumburger, and Jolly Spaghetti are always solid choices, and the prices are really reasonable too. Great recipe to balance out all the savory meals.
Cookies & cream cheesecake squares are delightful and enjoyable, but sweets should be consumed in moderation and with mindfulness.
