Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 package (14.3 ounces / 406 grams) Golden Oreos, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup (85 grams) toffee bits

Butter and Sugar:

  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (110 grams) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar

Baking Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (156 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (45 grams) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the bottom and sides.
  2. Crush Golden Oreos into fine crumbs and mix thoroughly with melted butter, creating a cohesive base. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan, creating a compact crust layer.
  3. Cream butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well-combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually integrate dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Gently fold in chocolate chips and spread the cookie dough evenly over the Oreo crust.
  4. Beat cream cheese until silky and smooth. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, then incorporate egg, mixing until fully integrated. Carefully spread the cheesecake mixture over the cookie dough layer, ensuring an even distribution.
  5. Drizzle caramel sauce generously across the cheesecake surface. Uniformly sprinkle chopped pecans, toffee bits, and mini chocolate chips over the caramel layer.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for golden brown edges and a set center. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely within the pan to maintain structural integrity.
  7. Once cooled, lift the entire dessert out using parchment paper edges. Slice into precise squares or bars, revealing the decadent layers, and serve at room temperature.

Notes

  • Customize Crust Options swap Golden Oreos with gluten-free cookies or graham crackers for dietary restrictions.
  • Soften Ingredients ensure butter, cream cheese, and eggs are at room temperature for smoother, more consistent mixing.
  • Control Sweetness reduce sugar amounts slightly if you prefer less sweet desserts or want to cut down on calories.
  • Precise Baking watch carefully during final minutes to prevent over-browning and ensure creamy cheesecake texture.
