Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pulse the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, melt the unsalted butter, and mix it with the crumbs. Press it into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. Beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until firm peaks form. Refrigerate.
  4. Melt 5 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 5 tbsp of unsalted butter in a double boiler until smooth and let cool slightly.
  5. Beat 6 oz of cream cheese until smooth, then gradually mix in remaining powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until blended. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture.
  6. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, then add the remaining whipped cream and fold until just incorporated.
  7. Spread the chocolate filling over the cooled crust with a spatula, ensuring an even layer.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  9. Before serving, whip additional heavy cream with sugar, spread on top, and garnish with chocolate shavings.
  10. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper, slice with a hot knife, and serve chilled.
