As it turns out, there are very few summer days left in this season.  Just a few more weekends to go, and then we’ll be grabbing sweaters in the morning and thinking about putting our patio furniture away.  I plan on milking every last drop of sunshine out of it and enjoying our backyard for as long as we can stand it. Eating outdoors is our favorite.  And we love having friends over to enjoy it with us.   This “so simple” dessert is a good one to serve at a barbecue where there are plenty of kiddos around.  Kids love the Oreos in this dessert, but I think you’ll find that the adults like them too! 

These No Bake Oreo Cheesecake Bars start with a classic Oreo cookie crust. The next layer is a creamy cream cheese layer. And crushed Oreo cookies are sprinkled on top.  No baking is needed! You can make this ahead of time- either early in the day or the night before.  It just needs time to set a little in your refrigerator before you start cutting into it.  This recipe is always a big hit at a party- easy and yummy!

About Cool Whip:

If you live in the United States, you’re already familiar with Cool Whip.  If you don’t, then you’re probably wondering what it is!  Cool Whip is an imitation whipped cream that is easy to use in no-bake desserts because it gives them a fluffy texture.  Since this recipe isn’t frozen, you should be able to substitute 3 cups of homemade whipped cream for the Cool Whip.  Just fold it in gently instead of using an electric mixer.
