Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper.
Combine crushed Oreos and melted butter in a bowl.
Press firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Freeze crust for 15–20 minutes while preparing the filling.

Add sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture.
Stir in the sprinkles carefully to avoid color bleeding.

Step 3: Assemble the Bars
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Top with chopped Oreos and additional sprinkles if desired.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 4: Slice & Serve
Once set, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment.
Cut into 16 bars using a sharp knife.
Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
