How to make a No Bake Oreo Cheesecake:
- Start with the crust: we’re using Oreo cookie crumbs (obviously) and butter — that’s it! The butter is the glue that holds our crust together and makes it easy to slice.
- Next is the filling: we whip up some cream cheese, sugar, and whipping cream and then add in some crushed Oreos.
- Spread it into the crust and chill until it is completely firm — there is no cheating here, unless you want no bake Oreo cheesecake pudding 😉
- Garnish and devour!
- I obviously don’t have to tell you what to do with the leftovers, because there won’t be any! (But just in case, you can easily refrigerate them).
Tips for making no bake cheesecake:
- You will need two whole regular sized (300g) packages of oreos or other chocolate sandwich cookies for this recipe.
- Start with room temperature cream cheese — this ensures it will whip up smoothly with no lumps.
- Beat everything together until it’s smooth before adding the cream. Add the cream cold, then whip it good (on high speed with an electric mixer) until it’s totally thick and fluffy. Don’t give up! Let it go for a few minutes until the cream is good and whipped.
- Chill well. I mentioned this above, but a good chill session in the fridge is really the key to slicing a no bake cheesecake and not having it run all over the place when you try to serve. Give yourself extra time for chilling to ensure success.
Variations on this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake:
- Add some mint extract and some green food coloring for a mint oreo twist.
- Add some strawberry Jello powder for a strawberry oreo cheesecake.
- Add in some melted chocolate for a no bake chocolate oreo cheesecake.
- Try some of the other Oreo flavours to really mix things up — the options are endless!
Tools for making no bake cheesecake:
- You will need an electric mixer, but you don’t need a super jumbo stand mixer. I use the Kitchenaid hand mixer and it works perfectly!
- You could definitely put this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake in a 9×13″ pan if you prefer, but a traditional 9″ Springform pan is the way I usually go. It dresses up a simple dessert and you get those perfectly straight edges!
