Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk (or milk + 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Pink gel food coloring
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8 Oreo cookies, chopped (plus more for topping)
  • Optional: extra crushed Oreos
  • Optional: festive sprinkles
  • Optional: powdered sugar dusting
  • Optional: white chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting. Lightly spray with cooking spray if desired.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla, vinegar, and pink gel food coloring.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spread pink velvet batter evenly into prepared pan.
  6. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add egg and vanilla, beat until creamy. Stir in chopped Oreos.
  7. Dollop cheesecake mixture over velvet base. Swirl gently with a knife or offset spatula. Sprinkle extra Oreos and festive sprinkles on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 28-32 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Center may jiggle slightly.
  9. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack, then chill in fridge for at least 1 hour before slicing.
  10. Lift bars out using parchment, slice into 16 squares. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for the brightest pink. Chill bars before slicing for clean edges. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and gluten-free sandwich cookies. Bars can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Variations include using Golden Oreos, adding freeze-dried strawberries, or swapping in dairy-free ingredients.
