Easy No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Recipe

No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake is one of those desserts that’s hard to resist; it’s rich, creamy, and it has Oreo both in the crust and in the filling for double the chocolaty goodness. There are few desserts as tasty as cheesecake, but when you add Oreos to the mix, it’s next-level delicious. 

Because this is a no-bake cheesecake recipe, there’s no fussing with a water bath, and no waiting for the cheesecake to bake and then chill. That said, there’s still chilling time needed for this recipe, so make sure you plan for that! I recommend whipping it up the day before you plan on serving it.

Ingredients

See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

For the Oreo Crust:

• Oreo cookies – You can use traditional or a fun flavored variety.

How to Make No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

1. Make the Crust

In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they are finely chopped. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Mix them together until they are fully combined, then press the Oreo crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you make the filling.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and continue mixing until they are fully combined.

3. Make the Whipped Cream

In a separate bowl, use a whisk to beat the heavy cream into stiff peaks.

4. Combine the Cream Cheese and Whipped Cream

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese base, reserving a half cup for the topping, then fold in 12 chopped Oreos. 

5. Assemble and Chill

Pour the filling into the crust. Be sure to spread it evenly throughout. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight.

6. Serve

Top with the remaining crushed Oreos and whipped cream, then serve.

FAQ

Is no-bake cheesecake better than baked cheesecake?

No-bake cheesecake is creamier than baked cheesecake, and it’s certainly a lot easier! Whether it’s better is up to you, but I think both are equally delicious in different ways!

Why is my no-bake Oreo cheesecake not firm?

No-bake cheesecake doesn’t get firm like a baked cheesecake. The filling is light, fluffy, and creamy.

Can you put a no-bake cheesecake in the freezer to set?

No, you can freeze leftover no-bake cheesecake, but it will change the texture, so you shouldn’t put it in the freezer to speed up the setting process.
