  4. Add the eggs, rum extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
  6. Fold in the chopped Oreos until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  6. Fold the chopped Oreos into the cheesecake mixture until evenly incorporated.
  7. Pour the cheesecake batter over the brownie layer smoothing the top.
  8. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any air pockets.
  9. Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.
  10. After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 200 degrees F and continue baking for an additional 50 minutes or until the cheesecake is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  11. Turn off the oven leaving the door slightly ajar and allow the cheesecake to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  12. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  14. When ready to serve, garnish with a drizzle of chocolate ganache and Oreo crumbs. Cut into 16 squares. Serve chilled.

Make the Chocolate Ganache:

  1. In a small mixing bowl, melt chocolate chips with cream in the microwave. Cook in 15 second intervals, stirring after each until mixture is smooth. Drizzle chocolate over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Add additional Oreo crumbs as garnish.
  2. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • How to Melt Chocolate Chips:— In a double boiler – place the butter and chocolate chips in the top of the double boiler over steadily boiling water. Stir until both butter and chocolate are completely melted.OR— In the microwave – place butter and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 15 second intervals stirring after each until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • How to Store:
  • Store any leftover cheesecake bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, either cut into individual portions, or leave the entire cheesecake whole. Wrap closely in plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil. It’s best if used within one month.
