Things taste better in a jar. I don't know why but they just do. It's weirdly satisfying to put your spoon into these Oreo Cheesecake Jars and see those layers of cookie crumble and cheesecake emerge. Oh and that little extra ganache on top - don't even get me started.

Now I have shared Cheesecake Jars before along with suggested tweaks. However the most popular questions I got right after was how to Oreo-ize them. Since I can take a hint I am back here now sharing these Oreo Cheesecake Jars where both the cheesecake mixture and the layers have Oreos in them.

Oh and the BEST part? You don't need to do any fiddly removing the cream from the center of the oreos. Hallelujah, right?

Oreo Cheesecake Jar

Course: Dessert

Keyword: oreo, cookies and cream

Author: Sarah Mir

Ingredients

24 Oreo Cookies
12 oz Cream Cheese
⅓ cup Whipping Cream
⅓-1/2 cup Icing Sugar (depending on your preference)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Ganache Topping (Optional)

½ cup Chocolate Chips
⅓ cup Whipping Cream

Instructions

Crush Oreos in a food processor
Whip the cream cheese until soft and then add the icing sugar, whipped cream, and vanilla - mix on low until combined then turn up the speed and whip for another 1-2 minutes until fluffy
Fold/Stir in half the oreo crumbs - you can do a little less if you like, there's no hard and fast rule here

Ganache

Warm your cream until just simmering, pour it over your chocolate chips and stir until just smooth.

Layering

Note: I used 4 jars with a ⅔ cup capacity, how many you get will depend on the jar you use
Divide your oreo crumbs into four 'sections' - i just separate them out on the plate I am using
From each section place half the Oreo crumbs on the bottom of each jar, add a layer of cheesecake filling (piping bag is easiest), the remaining crumbs, more cheesecake and top it with Ganache.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours at least before serving, can be made a day ahead
