Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 20 pink Oreo cookies (or strawberry Oreos), crushed into fine crumbs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake layers:
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup strawberry puree (for the pink layer)
- Pink food coloring (optional, for enhanced color)
For decoration:
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Pink Oreo halves or sprinkles
Instructions:
Prepare the crust:
In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined square or rectangular pan. Refrigerate while preparing the cheesecake layers.
Prepare the cheesecake filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Divide the mixture:
Divide the cheesecake filling into two portions. Leave one portion plain for the white layer.
In the second portion, mix in the strawberry puree and a few drops of pink food coloring, if desired, for the pink layer.
Assemble the cheesecake:
Spread the plain white cheesecake layer evenly over the Oreo crust.
Carefully spread the pink cheesecake layer on top of the white layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or until fully set.
Decorate and serve:
Once set, slice the cheesecake into bars.
Decorate each bar with whipped cream and half a pink Oreo or sprinkles for an extra touch.
Tips:
- Make-ahead: Prepare the bars a day in advance for best results and easy slicing.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Customization: Use different flavors of Oreos and food coloring to create a unique dessert.
