Learn how to make rich Chocolate Cheesecake Bars in 3 easy steps that will satisfy your sweet tooth and impress everyone you share with

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 30 wafers)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream (full-fat works best for texture)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended)

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Make the crust: Combine the crushed chocolate wafers and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch pan, creating an even layer.
  • Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then take it out to cool slightly.
  • Prepare the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with sugar in a large bowl until smooth—about 2 minutes. Stop when you don’t see lumps anymore.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in sour cream, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until just combined. Don’t overmix.
  • If using, fold in chocolate chips gently by hand to distribute them evenly.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center will still slightly jiggle.
  • Cool bars at room temperature for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Cut into squares with a sharp knife dipped in warm water for cleaner edges. Enjoy chilled or slightly warmed.
