Ingredients Notes

The ingredients for this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake are simple and easy to find, but each one plays a key role in creating that irresistible flavor and texture.

Oreos: These cookies form both the crust and add crunch within the filling. I recommend using classic Oreos, but if you’re a fan of the double-stuffed, they work beautifully too for an even more indulgent taste.
Cream Cheese: This is the base of the cheesecake filling. Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest, richest result. Make sure it’s softened to room temperature so it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
Butter: Melted butter is combined with the crushed Oreos to create the crust. It helps bind the crumbs together, giving you a firm, crunchy foundation for your cheesecake.
Powdered Sugar: Just a touch of powdered sugar sweetens the filling without making it gritty. You’ll get a perfectly smooth and creamy texture.
Whipped Topping: This lightens up the filling, adding a fluffy texture to balance the dense cream cheese. You can use store-bought whipped topping or whip up heavy cream with a bit of sugar if you prefer.

No special equipment is needed beyond a mixing bowl and either a food processor or plastic bag for crushing the Oreos!

How To Make This No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

Making this Oreo cheesecake is a breeze, with only a few simple steps between you and a crowd-pleasing dessert.

Start by preparing the Oreo crust. Crush about 24 Oreos in a food processor or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin until they’re fine crumbs. Mix them with melted butter until fully combined, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan. This crust will serve as the perfect base for your creamy cheesecake filling.

Next, make the filling. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped topping gently to keep the texture light and airy. Then, roughly chop a few extra Oreos and stir them into the filling, adding bursts of crunch and chocolate flavor throughout.

Spread the filling over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. For an added Oreo touch, sprinkle more crushed Oreos on top to decorate. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This chilling step allows the cheesecake to set, so it slices cleanly and holds its shape.

Once chilled, it’s ready to serve! Run a knife along the edges before releasing the springform, slice, and enjoy a piece of Oreo heaven.

Storage Options

This No Bake Oreo Cheesecake stores beautifully, making it perfect for planning ahead or saving leftovers.

In the Fridge: Store your cheesecake in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 5 days. This keeps it fresh and creamy while maintaining the crunchy Oreo crust.
In the Freezer: You can freeze individual slices for up to a month. Just wrap each slice in plastic wrap and then foil before placing them in a freezer-safe container. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge overnight.

For both storage options, keeping the cheesecake covered will prevent it from drying out or absorbing fridge odors.

Variations and Substitutions

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s incredibly versatile. Here are some fun ways to switch it up:

Mint Oreo Cheesecake: Use mint-flavored Oreos and add a few drops of mint extract to the filling for a refreshing twist.
Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake: Add ½ cup of creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese mixture, and use Peanut Butter Oreos for a rich, nutty flavor.
Gluten-Free: Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free sandwich cookies instead of Oreos. Be sure to double-check the other ingredients too.
Extra Chocolatey: Mix in some mini chocolate chips with the chopped Oreos in the filling, or drizzle chocolate syrup over the top just before serving.

Experiment with these variations, or come up with your own! You’ll soon see just how customizable this no-bake cheesecake can be.

With its no-fuss approach and showstopping look, this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake is a winner for any dessert lover looking for something quick, creamy, and oh-so-delicious. Enjoy!
