No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
This recipe doesn’t contain pork or alcohol.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Oreo Crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies (crushed into fine crumbs)
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 15 Oreo cookies (crushed, for mix-in)
For the Topping:
- 6 Oreo cookies (broken into chunks)
- ½ cup whipped cream (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust
- Crush the Oreos in a food processor or by sealing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin (great stress relief!).
- Mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to get a smooth, even layer.
- Pop it in the fridge while you make the filling.
Step 2: Whip Up the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks (this makes the cheesecake light and airy!).
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture—don’t overmix!
- Stir in the crushed Oreo pieces, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
Step 3: Assemble & Chill
- Pour the filling over the Oreo crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for that perfect, firm texture.
Step 4: The Fun Part – Topping & Serving!
- Before serving, add extra whipped cream and chunky Oreo pieces on top for extra deliciousness.
- Slice, serve, and watch everyone fall in love with this dessert.
Pro Tips for the BEST No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Want a firmer crust? Bake it at 350°F for 8 minutes before chilling (yes, it’s still technically “no-bake” because the cheesecake part isn’t baked!).
Short on time? Pop the cheesecake in the freezer for 1-2 hours instead of refrigerating overnight.
Gluten-Free Version? Use gluten-free Oreos—they taste just as amazing!
Extra Chocolatey? Drizzle some melted chocolate on top before serving. Because, why not?
FAQs – Because We All Have Questions!
Can I use Cool Whip instead of whipping cream?
Yes! If you want to save time, substitute 2 cups of Cool Whip for the whipped heavy cream. It will be slightly sweeter but still delicious.
How long will this cheesecake last in the fridge?
Up to 4-5 days if stored in an airtight container. But let’s be honest, it’ll probably disappear before then!
Can I freeze No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake?
Absolutely! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Just let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
