These Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake Bars are a three layered slice. The first layer is a crunchy Oreo base followed by a creamy cheesecake middle and topped with a rich, chewy and soft chocolate cookie. These are the perfect balance between rich and sweet.
Grease or line a 9"x9" pan with cooking paper and preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F).
Crush the chocolate biscuits and mix in the melted butter.
Spread evenly over the base of the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Now make the chocolate cookie dough.
Beat the butter, brown sugar and sugar together until fluffy.
Beat in the vanilla and egg.
Finally beat in the cocoa, flour, baking powder, baking soda, chocolate chips and white chocolate chips.
Set aside while you make the cheesecake filling.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Beat in the eggs and yoghurt.
Finally add the vanilla extract and icing sugar and beat until all combined.
Pour over the baked Oreo base.
Top with chocolate cookie dough, pressing the cookie dough over top in an even layer.
Bake for 30-40 minutes. The amount of time depends on your oven. The middle of the cheesecake should slightly wobble but be set and cooked on the sides and top.
Turn off the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge for 4-8 hours.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
