Description

Enjoy the delightful Red White and Blue Cheesecake Bars, featuring a creamy filling and a cookie crust. This easy homemade dessert is perfect for celebrations and gatherings.

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 the oven to 325 degrees F and line a 9×13 pan with foil.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies (cream included) until they turn into crumbs.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until fully combined, then press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool.
  4. Position a large baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and fill it halfway with water to create steam. Preheat the oven again.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until creamy.
  6. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour, then mix until combined.
  7. Add the eggs and beat gently, just until mixed in, being careful not to overmix.
  8. Divide the cheesecake batter evenly into 3 separate bowls. Use food coloring to tint two of the bowls red and blue.
  9. Spoon the colored mixtures over the crust in alternating colors. Use a knife to swirl the colors together without overmixing.
  10. Position the pan on the oven rack above the water-filled baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes. After baking, remove it from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
  11. Allow the cheesecake to cool on the counter for 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for 4-6 hours before serving.
  12. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Allowing the cheesecake to chill in the fridge for several hours enhances its flavor.
Use high-quality gel food coloring to achieve vibrant colors without changing the consistency.
