Description

This No-Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake is a creamy, indulgent dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo cookie crust, a smooth cream cheese filling studded with crushed Oreos, and topped with halved Oreo cookies and optional whipped cream. Perfect for when you want a rich, chocolatey treat without turning on the oven, this cheesecake sets in the fridge for a cool and satisfying finish.


Ingredients

Crust

  • 24 Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 3 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 12 Oreo cookies, crushed

Topping

  • 6 Oreo cookies, halved
  • Whipped cream (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they become fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.
  2. Form the Crust: Press the cookie and butter mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, spreading it out evenly to create a firm crust.
  3. Chill the Crust: Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling to allow it to set and hold together.
  4. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until fully combined.
  5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, which will give the filling its light and fluffy texture.
  6. Combine Filling Ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated, then fold in the crushed Oreo cookies for added texture and flavor.
  7. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth top layer.
  8. Refrigerate: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to allow it to set fully before serving.
  9. Add the Topping: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish with halved Oreo cookies and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Slice into 12 portions and serve chilled for a delicious no-bake dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Use a food processor to get finely crushed Oreos for a better crust texture.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  • For a firmer crust, you can chill it longer before adding the filling.
  • If desired, substitute whipped cream topping with chocolate shavings or drizzle for added flair.
