Ingredients:
- 24 whole Mint Oreo cookies (approx. 270g)
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 drops green gel food coloring
- 10 Mint Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 4 Mint Oreo cookies, crushed into dust
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. Pulse 24 Oreos in a food processor into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and salt. Press firmly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth. Add sour cream, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on the lowest speed just until the yellow streaks disappear. Hand-fold in the 10 chopped Oreos and green gel coloring.
- Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and allow to cool before chilling for at least 4 hours.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Top chilled bars with whipped cream and the remaining crushed Oreo dust before slicing into 16 bars.
