½cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
⅓cupwhite chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and line an 8 X 8-inch baking pan with tin foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray.
Place 24 complete Oreos in the food processor or blender to turn into a fine crumb.
In a medium bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and press down to evenly distribute.
Place into the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth about two minutes.
Add the sugar, salt and Greek yogurt, and mix well. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla.
Reserving 3 Oreos, place the rest into a sealed plastic bag and crush.
Fold into the cheesecake mixture.
Gently pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth with an offset spatula.
Place into the oven and bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until center is barely wobbly and edges are set and very slightly golden.
Allow to cool on a wire rack and then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least two hours.
Place the 3 saved Oreos into a plastic sandwich bag and crush into small pieces.
Lift the tin foil from the pan and place onto a cutting board to slice with a large knife.
Place the chocolate chips and white chocolate chips into two separate microwavable bowls. Heat for 30 second intervals, stirring in between until chips are melted and smooth.
Pour each into a plastic sandwich bag and cut a small tip off of one corner. Drizzle the chocolate over each of the bars, and top with the remaining crushed Oreos.
