Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pulse Oreo crumbs and mix with melted butter, then press into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar to taste and whip until stiff peaks are reached. Chill the whipped cream.
- Melt 5 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips with the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter over simmering water until smooth. Cool slightly.
- Beat 6 oz of cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and blend until smooth.
- Fold in half of the whipped cream into the chocolate filling until combined, then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
- Spread the chocolate filling over the cooled crust evenly. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil.
- Chill the assembled bars in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
- Whip additional heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread over the chilled bars and garnish with chocolate shavings.
- Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper. Slice with a hot knife and serve cold.

Notes
Allow the bars to chill overnight for enhanced flavor. Ensure melted chocolate is cool before mixing with cream cheese.
