Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix cookie crumbs and butter, then press firmly into the pan.
- Bake the crust until lightly set and allow it to cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs, melted chocolate, and cocoa powder until silky and uniform.
- Spread the filling over the crust and smooth the surface evenly.
- Bake until set, cool completely, chill thoroughly, and slice into bars.
Notes
For a softer crust, bake slightly less. For a crispier texture, extend baking time by a few minutes. Freeze fully chilled bars in airtight layers for up to two months and thaw in the refrigerator. Use a warm knife for neat slices and easier assembly. Customize flavors with espresso powder, caramel, peppermint extract, or chocolate chips. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to five days.
