Crust

  • 22 regular Oreo cookies not Double-Stuf

Filling

  • 6 ounces white chocolate finely chopped

Instructions
 

Raspberry Sauce Preparation

  • Make & cool the raspberry sauce by mixing 1 teaspoon water with cornstarch in a small bowl. Combine raspberries, sugar, and remaining water in a saucepan. Cook until simmering, then add cornstarch mixture. Simmer for 3 minutes, strain to remove seeds, and cool completely.

Crust Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Pulse Oreos in a food processor to fine crumbs. Combine with melted butter and press into pan. Bake for 8 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  • Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Cool slightly. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add flour, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt, then mix in eggs one at a time. Add cooled white chocolate and mix until just combined.

Assembly & Baking

  • Pour half of the filling into the crust, drizzle half of raspberry sauce over it, then spread remaining filling on top, drizzling remaining raspberry sauce before swirling gently.
  • Bake for 32-36 minutes until set. Cool for 45 minutes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before slicing.

Serving

  • Lift the bars out using parchment overhang and cut into squares. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

Make the raspberry sauce up to a week in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Freeze bars for up to 3 months, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
