Ingredients Notes

To make this No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake, you only need a handful of simple ingredients that come together beautifully to create an unforgettable dessert.

• Oreos: The base and topping of this cheesecake rely on classic Oreos. Use them to create a sturdy, flavorful crust and to mix into the cheesecake filling for extra Oreo goodness. Reserve some whole Oreos for garnish if you’d like.
• Cream Cheese: For the creamy filling, I recommend full-fat cream cheese. It provides the best texture and richness, creating that classic cheesecake flavor. Make sure it’s softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Whipped Cream: Freshly whipped cream folded into the filling adds lightness and stability. You can also use store-bought whipped topping if you’re short on time, though freshly whipped gives it a lighter texture.
• Butter: Melted butter is essential for binding the Oreo crust, helping it to hold its shape once set. Salted or unsalted butter works here, though unsalted will give you more control over the flavor.
• Powdered Sugar: This sweetens the filling without making it grainy. Powdered sugar dissolves smoothly, creating a flawless, creamy texture.

No special equipment is needed beyond a springform pan and an electric mixer (hand or stand), making this a simple yet elegant dessert you can make with just the basics.

How to Make This No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

Making this cheesecake is easy, and it only takes a few simple steps to bring everything together. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare the Crust: Begin by crushing 24 Oreos (about two-thirds of a standard package) in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. Add 6 tablespoons of melted butter to the crumbs and mix until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the fridge to set while you make the filling.
2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 oz of cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Be sure to scrape down the sides as you go to avoid any lumps in the filling.
3. Fold in Whipped Cream and Oreos: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Crush about 10 Oreos and fold them into the filling, being careful not to overmix so the whipped cream stays fluffy.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the top with extra crushed Oreos or whole cookies for a beautiful presentation. Slice, serve, and enjoy the rich, creamy goodness!

This dessert will take just 20 minutes to prepare, plus chilling time—simple steps for a stunning outcome.

Storage Options

This No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake stores beautifully, which makes it a great option for leftovers (if there are any!).

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The texture remains perfect, making it easy to enjoy a slice whenever you like.
• Freezer: For longer storage, freeze the cheesecake by wrapping it tightly with plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil. It can stay frozen for up to 2 months. To serve, let it thaw in the fridge overnight.
• Reheating: No need to reheat this dessert! Just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it’s been in the freezer before serving.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best parts about this No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake is how easy it is to customize! Here are some fun ideas to change up the flavors:

• Mint Oreo Cheesecake: Swap regular Oreos for mint-flavored ones to add a refreshing twist to the dessert. The hint of mint pairs beautifully with the creamy filling.
• Chocolate Lover’s: For a deeper chocolate flavor, add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the cream cheese filling. Top with chocolate shavings or drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.
• Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake: Add ½ cup of creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese mixture. This adds a rich, nutty flavor that’s perfect with the Oreos.
• Golden Oreo Cheesecake: If you’re not a chocolate fan, use Golden Oreos for a vanilla-flavored version that’s equally delicious. It’s a fun twist and still no-bake!
• Individual Cheesecakes: Make mini cheesecakes by pressing the crust and filling into muffin cups. These are perfect for parties and make serving a breeze.

With so many ways to adapt this recipe, you’re free to experiment and make it your own.

Now you’re all set to make a delicious No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake that’s sure to be a hit! This easy recipe combines the best of creamy cheesecake and crunchy Oreos for a dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. Enjoy, and don’t be surprised if this becomes a frequently requested treat!
