These No Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Bars have a sweet and creamy filling on a delicious chocolate cookie crust. They are the perfect make ahead dessert that will impress everyone!
Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving at least a half inch overhang on the long sides.
Crust
In a food processor, place 20 cookies and pulse until course crumbs.
Add the melted butter and pulse until all the crumbs are fine and moistened.
Pour the crumbs into prepared baking dish and firmly pat them down to make an even crust.
Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
Cheesecake Filling
In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, and beat smooth.
Place 10 cookies in a zip top bag and crush them until course crumbs. Add crumbs to cream cheese mixture and fold together.
Now use the whisk attachment on the stand mixer and whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Then add the powdered sugar and beat until there are stiff peaks.
Add the stabilized whipped cream, a little at a time, to the cream cheese and cookie mixture. Gently fold it in being careful not to lose any air in the whipped cream.
Pour the filling over the crust and spread out evenly.
Crush remaining 4-6 cookies and sprinkle over the top.
Cover with plastic wrap or lid and chill in fridge for 4 hours up to overnight.
