Last Friday I had the rare opportunity to sneak out of the house for a few hours to catch up with two beautiful ladies I’ve met through blogging, whom I now feel privileged to also call my friends. Naturally I offered to bring something sweet and delicious to our catch up, and after finding out our host was making chocolate mousse (which was quite possibly the best chocolate mousse I’ve ever tasted) I knew I had to come up with something a little bit different.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve jumped on the cheesecake bandwagon, having made both a Tolberone and Baked Lemon Cheesecake, so it only seemed natural to keep that momentum and try a cheesecake slice recipe. After spying Oreos on special at the supermarket, I easily decided an Oreo Cheesecake Slice was the way to go.
This slice doesn’t take much effort to put together, the hardest part is waiting for it to set! The simplicity of this recipe certainly doesn’t take away from it’s taste. I’ll be honest and say there were several pieces missing when the time came to plate it up and head out for the night, and my husband may have requested I leave a couple of slices at home for him to enjoy once the boys were in bed.
Using all of my will power I resisted the urge to sneak a slice on the drive over. Thankfully once I arrived I was distracted with plenty of laughter, talking, wine, food and of course photos – because let’s be honest, with three bloggers in the room there was always going to be plenty of photos taken! After gorging myself with delicious cheeses and mini quiches, when the time came for dessert I opted for our host’s deliciously smooth and rich chocolate mousse rather than my slice (but to be honest, I’d probably already eaten enough off it that day!) which was the perfect way to end a lovely evening.
To make this Oreo Cheesecake Slice, you will need:

I’ve seen an Oreo cheesecake recipe on Pinterest (I think it was either you or Lucy who pinned it actually) and I’ve been keen to give it a try. Yours sounds absolutely divine!
