Chocolate Chip Oreo Cheesecake Bars

Chocolate chip cookie dough combined with Oreos and delicious vanilla cream is probably everything you need for a perfect dessert nobody can resist. These decadent chocolate chip oreo cheesecake bars are made with classic chocolate chip cookie dough with just the right amount of Zen Spirit maca powder for the best flavor you have ever tasted.

A store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough will also work perfectly for this recipe and save you some time. In that case, add a pinch of maca powder to the cream cheese filling.

Chocolate Chip Oreo Cheesecake Bars Cacao

When it comes to baking these cheesecake bars, you want to keep an eye on them, especially at the end. The topping should be lightly golden (not brown) and the cheesecake filling should tremble in the center when shaken.

If you leave it in the oven for a longer period, the cheesecake filling will be too thick when chilled and you will lose that wonderful creamy texture these bars should have.

Finally, drizzle your bars with some salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought one – whatever works for you) and enjoy!
