Ingredients
Method
Prepare the crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9 x 13-inch dish with foil, letting the foil extend over the edges for easy lifting.
- Pulse Oreo cookies, cream included, in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.
- Mix together crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Bake crust for 11 minutes. Remove and cool.
Prepare the cheesecake filling
- Place a large sheet pan on the bottom oven rack and fill it half full of water for a water bath.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy and free of lumps.
- Add sour cream and flour and beat until smooth.
- Add eggs and beat just until mixed in; avoid overbeating.
- Remove 1 cup of batter and set aside. Pour melted white chocolate and Creme de Menthe into the remaining batter and mix until evenly combined.
- Pour the mint-white chocolate batter over the cooled crust.
- Add the melted semisweet chocolate to the reserved cup of batter, mix, and drop dollops over the cheesecake batter. Swirl gently with a knife to create marbled ribbons.
- Place the pan of cheesecake on the oven rack above the steaming water and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the sides are set and the center is slightly wiggly. Remove and cool on a rack for an hour, then refrigerate until fully chilled.
Prepare the whipped cream topping
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Swirl or spread over the chilled cheesecake bars and finish with sprinkles if desired.
Serving
- Lift the chilled slab from the pan using the foil overhang and slice with a warm, dry knife for clean edges.
- Serve small squares on chilled plates, optionally garnished with a thin mint or a shard of white chocolate.
Notes
For best results, ensure cream cheese is softened before mixing. Use a thin-bladed knife warmed under hot water for pristine slices. If your oven runs hot, tent the pan with foil after 30 minutes.
