📝 Ingredients

For the Brownie Base:

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ⅓ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ½ cup (64g) all-purpose flour

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 10 Oreo cookies, crushed

For the Cream Topping:

  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened

  • ¼ cup (60g) granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup crushed Oreo cookies


👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.


2. Make the Brownie Base

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.

  • Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.

  • Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir just until combined—don’t overmix!

  • Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

  • Let the brownies cool completely.


3. Prepare the Cream Topping

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.

  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

  • Fold in the crushed Oreos.


4. Assemble the Layers

  • Spread the Oreo cream topping evenly over the cooled brownie base.

  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.


5. Slice and Serve

Cut into squares. Garnish with extra Oreo crumbs or mini Oreos for that bakery-style finish.
Serve chilled and enjoy!


🍪 Tips for Perfect Cookies and Cream Brownies

  • Don’t overbake the brownies. You want them soft and fudgy.

  • For clean slices, use a warm knife and wipe it between cuts.

  • Make ahead! These bars taste even better the next day after chilling overnight.

  • Swap Oreos for any cream-filled cookies for a fun twist (like Golden Oreos or Mint Oreos).
