Indulge in the rich and decadent Death-By-Chocolate No Bake Cheesecake Bars, a luscious dessert combining an Oreo crust with a silky dark chocolate cream cheese filling, topped with mini chocolate chips. Perfect for chocolate lovers craving a no-bake treat that’s easy to prepare and impressively delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 18 Oreo cookies
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon dark chocolate, melted

Filling

  • 4 ounces brick-style cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (optional but recommended for flavor balance)
  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray for easy removal and cleanup. Set aside.
  2. Make the Crust: Place whole Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse on high until fine crumbs form. Transfer crumbs to the pan.
  3. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the melted butter and 1 tablespoon dark chocolate on high until smooth and combined. Pour this mixture into the food processor with the Oreo crumbs and pulse to incorporate evenly.
  4. Form the Crust: Press the Oreo-chocolate mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even, flat crust. Set aside.
  5. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld electric mixer to beat softened cream cheese on high speed until fluffy and smooth. Set aside.
  6. Prepare Chocolate Filling: Combine chopped dark chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is silky smooth, approximately 90 seconds.
  7. Combine Filling Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the beaten cream cheese. Beat on high speed until fully combined and smooth.
  8. Add Flavorings: Optionally, stir in Baileys Irish Cream or Kahlua and salt. The salt enhances the richness and balances the chocolate flavors—recommended not to skip.
  9. Assemble Bars: Spread the chocolate cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo crust in the pan.
  10. Add Topping and Chill: Sprinkle mini semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top. Refrigerate the bars for at least 3 hours to set, preferably overnight. After chilling, cover with foil to maintain freshness and prevent condensation.
  11. Serve: Once set, cut into bars and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Store the dessert in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or longer if properly covered and chilled.
  • Adding salt greatly improves the balance of sweetness and chocolate richness.
  • Allow the bars to chill thoroughly before covering to avoid condensation.
  • Use brick-style cream cheese for optimal texture.
  • The optional Baileys or Kahlua adds a boozy depth but can be omitted for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Line the pan with foil for easy removal and cleanup.
