These Slutty Cheesecake Bars are incredibly delicious and easy to make. The cookie layer in the middle adds great flavor and texture to the creamy cheesecake and buttery graham cracker crust.

I think that cheesecake is an extremely underrated dessert.

From the creaminess of the cheesecake to the buttery graham cracker crust, every bite is absolute perfection.

Now, what if I told you that you could add cookies into your cheesecake?!

And that it is SO DELICIOUS!

By adding Chocolate Creme Filled Sandwich Cookies and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies in the middle of the cheesecake batter, your taste buds will be in heaven!

It will quickly become one of those recipes that you didn’t know you needed but now you can’t live without it!

Each bite is the perfect combination of refreshing and indulgent.

What is a “Slutty” Cheesecake?

This recipe is derived from a fun recipe called “Slutty Brownies”.

Slutty Brownies are a delicious dessert that has cookie dough as the base layer. On top of the cookie dough is a layer of chocolate sandwich cookies.

Lastly, brownie batter is poured on top of the cookies and spread into an even layer. Once baked, it is a delicious and indulgent treat.

Now, let’s talk about how this led to the creation of these Slutty Cheesecake Bars.

This dessert has a thick and buttery graham cracker crust as the base layer. On top of that is a thin layer of cheesecake batter.

Next, layer both chocolate chips and chocolate creme cookies to cover the cheesecake batter.

Lastly, pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top, spreading it in an even layer to cover all the cookies.

Once baked, it creates delicious layers of graham cracker crust, creamy vanilla cheesecake and two kinds of cookies.

If you don’t have the exact store-bought Chocolate Chip Cookies or Chocolate Creme Cookies that I used – don’t worry! You can try the ones linked below or ones you can find at your local grocery store.

For the Chewy Chocolate Chip cookies you can use:

  8. Mix until it is smooth and creamy with no lumps, it can take a few minutes
  9. Now, add a thin layer of cheesecake batter over the crust (about 1/2 inch thick)
  10. Spread in an even layer covering the graham cracker crust
  11. Place the cookie halves down in rows, gently pressing on top of the cheesecake batter (You don’t want to push them fully into the batter)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this recipe gluten free?

No, but it can be! Make sure you use gluten free friendly chocolate chip and chocolate creme cookies.

What graham crackers should I use?

I used Honey Maid Graham Crackers, but you can use any that you have on hand.

However, you can use any that you have available or at your local grocery store. Some other graham cracker options are Happy Belly, Annie’s Honey Grahams, 365 Graham Crackers, Nabisco Grahams, Kinnikinnick S’moreables (Gluten free option).

Pre-crushed Graham Cracker Crumbs are also on option, found on Amazon!

How do I know the cheesecake is done baking?

You will know that the cheesecake is done baking when the edges are a golden brown. Also, top of the cheesecake should be fully set with a slight jiggle in the middle.

Do I have to chill the batter overnight?

Because it allows the cheesecake to fully set into a creamy and luscious texture. However, a minimum of 6 hours will also work fine if you are short on time.

Can I make the Slutty Cheesecake Bars ahead of time?

Yes! In fact, letting it chill overnight it preferred. The cheesecake can remain fresh for up to 48 hours when kept in the fridge prior to serving.

Let sit at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes before serving to slice easily.

How do I store these cheesecake bars?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
