With its luscious cream cheese filling, chunks of Oreo cookies, and a buttery Oreo crust, it’s a sweet treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Plus, it’s simple to make, requiring just a bit of prep time and patience while it chills.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

1/4 cup melted butter

25 Oreo cookies (1 package, 300g)

For the Filling:

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

24 oz cream cheese (3 packages, 250g/8oz each)

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, divided

25 Oreo cookies (1 package, 300g)

Directions:

Prepare the Crust:

In a food processor, blend 25 Oreo cookies with melted butter until the mixture is smooth and sticks together.

Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

Prepare the Filling:

In a medium bowl, combine white chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.

Add powdered sugar and melted white chocolate to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.

Add the remaining 1 cup of cream and beat on low until incorporated. Then increase to high speed and beat until the mixture is thickened and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Assemble the Cheesecake:

Reserve 5 Oreo cookies for garnish. Crush the remaining 20 cookies in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin or another hard object.

Stir the crushed Oreos into the cheesecake filling.

Spread the filling evenly over the prepared crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 5-6 hours or overnight.

Serve:

Once the cheesecake is chilled and set, slice and serve. Garnish with the reserved Oreo cookies if desired.

Serving Tips:

Chill Properly: Ensure the cheesecake is fully chilled and set before serving. This usually takes at least 5-6 hours, but overnight is best for optimal texture.

Garnish: Before serving, consider garnishing with the reserved Oreo cookies. You can also add a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair.

Slice Cleanly: Use a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water for cleaner cuts. Wipe the knife clean between slices to avoid messy edges.

Presentation: Serve the cheesecake directly from the springform pan or carefully transfer slices to a serving platter. For a neat presentation, use a cake server or pie server.

Accompaniments: Pair with fresh fruit like berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the rich flavors of the cheesecake.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator. Cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or keep it in an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing any odors.

Duration: The cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Beyond this, the texture and flavor may begin to deteriorate.

Freezing: If you need to store it for a longer period, you can freeze the cheesecake. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Portion Control: For convenience, consider slicing the cheesecake before freezing. This allows you to take out individual slices as needed without having to thaw the entire cake.

FAQs:

Can I use low-fat cream cheese for this recipe?

Yes, you can use low-fat cream cheese, but keep in mind that it may slightly affect the texture and creaminess of the cheesecake. Full-fat cream cheese provides the richest and smoothest results.

Can I use a different type of cookie for the crust?

Absolutely! While Oreos are classic, you can use other types of cookies for the crust, such as chocolate chip cookies or graham crackers. Just be sure to adjust the quantity to match the amount needed for a 9-inch springform pan.

How can I make this No Bake Oreos Cheesecake gluten-free?

To make a gluten-free version, use gluten-free Oreos or other gluten-free cookies for the crust. Be sure to check that all other ingredients, like the white chocolate chips and cream cheese, are also gluten-free.

What should I do if my cheesecake filling is too soft after mixing?

If your cheesecake filling is too soft, it may not set properly. Try chilling it for a longer period, or add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken it. If necessary, you can also fold in some whipped cream to help stabilize the mixture.

Conclusion:

This No Bake Oreos Cheesecake is a crowd-pleaser that combines the classic flavors of Oreo cookies with the rich, creamy goodness of cheesecake. It’s an easy and indulgent dessert that’s sure to impress!
