- 1 large package of oreo cookies, cream centers removed
- 4 T butter
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- the removed cream centers from the oreos
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Nutella
To make the filling, I used my little hand mixer to beat the cream cheese, oreo centers, and sugar together until the mixture was smooth. I then mixed in the eggs and vanilla. I then spread the filling evenly over the crust, and dropped Nutella over top of filling. Using a knife, I swirled the Nutella into the filling.
I let this bake for about 25 minutes, or until filling is just set. I let the bars cool overnight.
It is really important that the bars are completely chilled/firm before you cut them. This means that I had to wait until I got to work to taste test them….and honestly they turned out perfectly! I baked them just long enough, and couldn’t be happier with the modifications I made to the original recipe. They were a huge hit at the office, people started eating them before 10am 😀
Is 325 the correct temperature once you add the cream cheese mixture? I baked mine for the 20 minutes and it was still runny.
My oven is super temperamental (and old), I would just bake it until the cheesecake has firmed around the edges and is no longer runny in the center.
