Description

This No-Bake Cookies and Cream Cheesecake is a creamy, luscious dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo cookie crust and a smooth, sweetened cream cheese filling mixed with crushed Oreos. Perfect for those who want a rich, indulgent treat without turning on the oven, it sets firmly in the fridge and is garnished with halved Oreos and optional whipped cream for an elegant finish.

Ingredients

Scale

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 24 Oreo cookies until they become fine crumbs, then add the melted butter and mix until well combined to form the crust mixture.
  2. Form the Crust: Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, spreading it out evenly to create a firm base for the cheesecake. Refrigerate it while you prepare the filling to help it set.
  3. Make the Filling Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese, continuing to beat until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring the mixture is light and airy.
  6. Combine Cream and Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain the light texture without deflating the whipped cream.
  7. Add Oreo Pieces: Carefully fold in the 12 crushed Oreo cookies into the filling mixture, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  8. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  9. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until it is fully set and firm.
  10. Add the Topping: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, then garnish the top with the 6 halved Oreo cookies and optional whipped cream dollops to enhance its appearance and flavor.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cheesecake into 12 servings and serve chilled for a delightful no-bake dessert experience.

Notes

  • This cheesecake requires at least 4 hours to chill and set properly; for best results, refrigerate overnight.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Use a 9-inch springform pan for easy removal and neat presentation.
  • If preferred, substitute the Oreos with gluten-free cookies to make the crust gluten-free.
  • For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping alternative.
