Ingredients Notes

The ingredients for this Oreo cheesecake are simple, yet they work together to create the ultimate creamy treat.
Oreo Cookies – You’ll need a good amount of Oreos for this recipe: some for the crust, and more for the filling. The cookies give this dessert its signature flavor, so don’t skimp on them! Crush them finely for the crust, and feel free to leave some chunks in the filling for added texture.
Cream Cheese – The base of any cheesecake, cream cheese brings that signature tangy richness to the filling. Make sure it’s softened to room temperature, which will help you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
Heavy Cream – Whipping up the heavy cream until it’s fluffy and light adds an airy quality to the filling, making it extra soft and dreamy. Cold cream will whip up best, so keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Butter – Melted butter holds the crushed Oreo crust together, giving a firm foundation for the cheesecake layers. Salted or unsalted butter works fine here.
Powdered Sugar – Sweetens the cheesecake filling without adding graininess. Using powdered sugar instead of granulated ensures a silky smooth texture.
How To Make This No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Creating this cheesecake is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps for a delicious, no-fuss dessert.
Start by making the crust. Crush your Oreo cookies (cream and all) in a food processor or by hand until you have fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. This step ensures that your filling will be lump-free and perfectly sweetened.
Next, whip the cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, fluffy filling. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep that airy texture.
Gently fold in more crushed Oreo cookies, leaving some larger pieces for texture. Pour the mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set perfectly.
Storage Options
To store your Oreo cheesecake, keep it in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or foil. It’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days, making it a great make-ahead dessert.
If you’d like to keep leftovers for longer, you can freeze the cheesecake. Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container. It will last in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy a slice, let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
For best results when reheating frozen slices, let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This will ensure they’re creamy and smooth, just like freshly made.
Variations and Substitutions
This Oreo cheesecake recipe is wonderfully flexible, so feel free to get creative!
For a chocolatey twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the top before serving, or add mini chocolate chips to the filling.
If you’re a fan of peanut butter, try adding a layer of peanut butter to the crust or mixing some into the filling for a delicious chocolate-peanut butter flavor.
To make it lighter, swap the heavy cream with whipped topping for a fluffier texture. The cheesecake will still be creamy but with a slightly different mouthfeel.
Want a festive touch? Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top around the holidays, or add fresh berries for a summer treat.
Try different cookie flavors for the crust! Swap classic Oreos with Golden Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, or even graham crackers for a unique spin.
No matter how you choose to enjoy it, this No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake is sure to become a favorite dessert in your home. Give it a try, and watch it disappear slice by slice!
