Ingredients Notes

The beauty of this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake lies in its simplicity. Here’s a closer look at the key ingredients that make it so delicious:

• Oreo Cookies: Both the crust and the filling feature crushed Oreos, giving you that signature flavor in every bite. Be sure to set some aside for a topping garnish!
• Cream Cheese: This is the base of the cheesecake filling, providing a rich and tangy flavor. Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: Whipping the cream adds lightness and structure to the filling, creating a mousse-like texture without the need for baking.
• Butter: Used to bind the Oreo crust together, melted butter gives the base a buttery, slightly salty contrast to the sweet filling.
• Powdered Sugar: This sweetens the cheesecake filling without any grittiness. Adjust the sweetness to taste, if you like it less or more sweet.

You’ll only need a mixing bowl and an electric mixer to whip up this cheesecake, plus an 8-inch springform pan for easy removal.

How To Make This No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

Making this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake is as easy as can be. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a stunning dessert ready in no time!

1. Prepare the Crust: Start by crushing the Oreos in a food processor or a sturdy ziplock bag with a rolling pin until they’re fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well-combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan. Place it in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. This gives the filling a fluffy, airy texture.
3. Add the Crushed Oreos: Gently fold in a generous amount of crushed Oreos. Be careful not to overmix – you want to keep some chunks for texture in each bite.
4. Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly. Top with extra Oreo crumbs or whole cookies for garnish.
5. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can. The chilling time allows the filling to set firmly for easy slicing.

Once it’s fully set, remove the springform ring, slice, and serve! This cheesecake has an impressive look and taste, all without the need for baking.

Storage Optio

This No Bake Oreo Cheesecake is perfect for making ahead, as it keeps beautifully in the fridge and freezer.

• Refrigerator: Store the cheesecake in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 5 days. Keep it well-covered to prevent any fridge odors from affecting the cheesecake’s flavor.
• Freezer: For longer storage, wrap the cheesecake (whole or sliced) tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe container. It will keep for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw slices in the fridge overnight.
• Leftover Crust and Filling: Any leftover crust or filling can be layered in small dessert cups to make mini cheesecakes! Store these in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Variations and Substitutions

This No Bake Oreo Cheesecake is incredibly versatile, and you can customize it in lots of fun ways. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:

• Mint Oreo Cheesecake: Swap in mint-flavored Oreos for a fresh twist, and add a few drops of peppermint extract to the filling for extra minty flavor.
• Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake: Add ½ cup of peanut butter to the cream cheese mixture and use chocolate-peanut butter Oreos for a nutty, indulgent treat.
• Berry-Topped Cheesecake: After chilling, top the cheesecake with fresh raspberries or strawberries for a fruity contrast to the chocolatey Oreo flavor.
• Chocolate Ganache Drizzle: For an even richer dessert, drizzle chocolate ganache over the top before serving. It adds a beautiful, glossy finish and extra chocolate flavor.
