How to make this Valentine's Day Cheesecake Bars Recipe
Here are the ingredients you need to gather to get started making this Valentine's Day Cheesecake Bars Recipe
Keep in mind, all of the ingredient amounts you’ll need are in the printable recipe card below.
- The Oreo cookies make a nice, solid and tasty crust - very similar to a graham cracker crust, but tastier! You will be using melted butter because it combines with the Oreo Cookie crumbs a lot better than cold butter.
- I recommend setting aside your butter and cream cheese about an hour before you begin baking this delicious Oreo Cookie Cream Cheese Bars Recipe, so that the cream cheese has time to soften and the butter melts easier.
- You will also need some basic baking supplies like Granulated Sugar, Sour cream, All purpose flour, Pure Vanilla Extract and Eggs.
- You will be using Red and pink gel food coloring as well as Valentine sprinkles - I recommend Wilton brand, but you can use any that you like! Just keep in mind that many red food coloring have a pretty yucky taste, so make sure to get tasteless food coloring.

Directions for making this Valentine's Day Cheesecake Bars Recipe
You are going to begin by preheating your oven to 350 and greasing a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Add your Oreo Cookies to a food processor and process for 5 seconds or until the cookies are are reduced to crumbs. Add in your melted butter and process for 10 seconds or until the melted butter and Oreo Cookie crumbs are combined really well.
Press your Oreo Cookie mixture into your prepared pan with the back of a spoon and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
Add cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, flour, vanilla and eggs to a mixer and beat well until combined.
Divide batter into thirds and add red food coloring to one bowl and pink to another, leaving the third bowl white.
Add dollops of cheesecake mixture on top of crust.
Use a knife to swirl the colors and spread evenly. Shake pan to create an even top, too.
Place a separate baking pan in the bottom rack of the oven and fill with water. Add the cheesecake to the center rack and bake for 45-20 minutes or until center is nearly set. Cool in the pan for 1 hour and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, top with Valentine sprinkles and cut into squares to serve.

These turned out so good! You could also add fruit if you wanted or add any complimentary toppings and they would be just as good!
