Why we love this recipe

The Oreo brownies cheesecake is an amazing recipe that combines 2 delicious desserts in one: a fudgy chocolate brownie and a layer of creamy cheesecake, all flavored with Oreo cookies.

The ultimate dessert for chocolate lovers, super fudgy and chocolatey with a creamy cheesecake filling and crunchy crushed Oreo cookies.

Oreo cookies that I love to put in all my desserts like Oreo cookies and cream cheesecake, Oreo chocolate chip cookies, Oreo milkshake or cookies and cream cupcakes with Oreo frosting.

This Oreo cheesecake brownies is ultra-easy to make at home, make a layer of Oreo brownies, add a layer of cheesecake batter, decorate with crushed Oreo cookies and bake.

Perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to soften all that chocolate in the mouth, and why not a few pecans or a bit of chocolate sauce for something a little crazier.

How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Brownie recipe

Brownie batter

• Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler until the mixture is liquid and lump-free.
• Beat the eggs with sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until the mixture is thick and glossy.
• Add the melted butter-chocolate mixture and mix again with an electric mixer to incorporate.
• Add the dry ingredients, flour, cocoa powder and salt and mix with a spatula to incorporate.
• Finish by adding crushed Oreo cookie pieces and mix again to incorporate.
• Pour the mixture into a square cake pan lined with parchment paper.

Cheesecake filling

• Place all ingredients in a medium bowl, cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract.
• Mix with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
• Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan containing the brownie batter layer and add a few Oreo pieces on top for decoration.

Baking

• Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C and bake the Oreo cheesecake brownies for approx. 35 - 40 minutes until lightly browned on top.
• Leave the cheesecake brownies to cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap and placing it in the fridge to cool completely.
• Unmold the Oreo brownies cheesecake and cut into 16 equal-sized slices before serving on a plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Tip: to make an Oreo cheesecake brownies bars version, simply cut the brownies into 8 slices.

Storage and tips

In the fridge: Store Oreo cheesecake brownies in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 1 week.

Marbling the brownies: Like my marbled brownies recipe, use a knife to make a cheesecake swirl on top and have a pretty marbled effect when you cut the brownies.

A brownie is done when the center is still a little soft and will harden as it cools, you can check that it's properly baked by plunging a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not liquid batter.

Let completely cool before cutting the cheesecake brownies into small slices with a large knife.

Can I use brownie mix to make this recipe? Yes, you can use your brownie mix directly, rather than following my brownie recipe and adding the cheesecake layer.

Add more crunchy: With crushed nuts such as hazelnuts, almonds, pecans, kernels or chocolate chips.
