Ingredients

Oreo Crust:

Cheesecake layer:

Coconut Caramel Layer:

  • 1 (11-ounce) package soft caramels
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups toasted coconut

Chocolate drizzle:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil allowing the sides to overhang for easy removal.
  • In a food processor, pulse the 20 Oreos cream removed into a fine crumb. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir the crushed cookies and 5 tablespoons melted butter together. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 9-10 minutes. Let cool.
  • With an electric mixer whisk the 2 (8-ounce) blocks softened cream cheese, 1 large egg, ¼ cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together until it has a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Spread the filling over the crust and bake it for 30-35 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Refrigerate for an hour to cool completely
  • Coconut caramel layer: Add the 1 (11-ounce) package soft caramels and 3 tablespoons heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl and cook in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals until melted and smooth.
  • Add the 1 ½ cups toasted coconut to the melted caramel and it let cool for about 10 minutes, then spread it on top of the cheesecake layer. Place back in the fridge and chill for 3 hours.
  • Melt the 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl cooking in 30-second intervals stirring between intervals until smooth. Drizzle on top of caramel. Let the finished bars sit at room temperature for a little to make them easier to cut.
