No-bake Triple Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars {Gluten-free}

Yesterday, I announced that I was going to my first ever food blogging conference! To celebrate, it’s chocolate time!

 

But, before we get there, I thought I’d share some things.

This is my first time…

  • traveling alone.
  • attending a conference.
  • meeting any of my fellow food bloggers.
  • visiting Nashville, TN.

Weeeeee! I’m so excited! 🙂

 

I digress…back to these amazing goods.

 

These are incredibly easy to make, yet are super rich in chocolatey flavor.

They were a hit. 🙂

Make them.

No-bake Triple Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars {Gluten-free}

adapted from Taste and Tell

Ingredients

  • 15 gluten free oreos
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 8 ounces room-temperature 1/3 fat cream cheese
  • 7 ounces fat free sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces heavy cream
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

How-To

  1. In a food processor, grind the oreos until they are fine crumbs.
  2. Add in the melted butter and blend to combine.
  3. Press the oreo crust into the bottom of a 8″x8″ pan. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  5. In the meantime, blend the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter together in the food processor, until combined.
  6. After the 5 minutes has passed, microwave the gelatin water for 10 seconds.
  7. Add the gelatin water to the food processor and blend again to combine.
  8. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  9. Spread onto the oreo crust evenly. Set aside.
  10. In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, bring the heavy cream to a boil.
  11. Remove from the heat and add in the dark chocolate chips.
  12. Stir until melted and smooth.
  13. Pour evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  14. Freeze for at least 45 minutes.
  15. Cut into squares and enjoy cold! 🙂

Note: If you don’t have a gluten intolerance, you can use normal oreos for the crust and they will be just as tasty. 🙂

  1. Um, gluten free oreos? Do such wonders exist? Are they actually oreo branded, or just kind of similar? I live in Australia so I’m not sure we have them.

    1. I love these gluten-free oreos….they aren’t made by oreo, I just like referring to them as oreos because everyone knows what they are. 🙂

  2. You really didnt have to tell me to make them, by the time id seen the first photo i was checking the ingredients to see what needs to go on the shopping list! great recipe and your photos are just beautifully clear 🙂

    1. Yes, you are correct. The dark chocolate chips go on top in the ganache layer. The mini chocolate chips go in the cheesecake layer. Yum! 🙂

  3. These look great.

    Do I have to let each layer set before adding the next?

    Also, do you mean freeze or refrigerate? I’m making them one day in advance and was wondering if they will come out hard and icy if frozen overnight.

    1. Hi Mor, Just letting the cheesecake set while you make the chocolate layer is enough time. We ate them frozen, almost like ice cream bars, but you could certainly leave them in the fridge if you wanted a softer texture. However, you can always freeze them and then take them out to allow thawing before serving. Enjoy!!!
