Description
This Oreo Icebox Cheesecake is a rich, creamy no-bake dessert layered over a buttery graham cracker crust and packed with crushed Oreo cookies. It is the perfect make-ahead treat for celebrations or whenever you crave a smooth cookies-and-cream indulgence.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
24 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar (sifted)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
10 ounces Oreo cookies (crushed)
Whipped cream (for garnish)
Crushed Oreos (for garnish)
Instructions
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Place in the freezer while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the confectioners’ sugar and mix on low speed until incorporated, then increase to medium speed and beat until well combined.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until fully blended.
- Pour in the cold heavy whipping cream and beat on low speed until combined, then increase to high speed and whip until thick and stiff.
- Gently fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the cheesecake batter.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly to the edges.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until fully set.
- Remove the sides of the springform pan and garnish with whipped cream and crushed Oreos before serving.
Notes
For a stronger cookies-and-cream flavor, substitute the graham cracker crust with a crushed Oreo crust.
Add mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate on top for extra richness.
Reduced-fat cream cheese may be used, though the texture will be slightly softer.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze individual slices wrapped tightly for up to 2 months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
