Ingredients Notes

This No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake requires just a few simple ingredients, but each one plays a key role in creating the perfect cheesecake. Let’s break down what you’ll need.

Oreo Cookies: The Oreos serve as both the crust and the star ingredient in the cheesecake filling. For the crust, you’ll crush the Oreos finely (filling and all), while the filling uses coarsely crushed Oreos for added texture. You can use classic Oreos, or experiment with different flavors like mint or peanut butter for a twist.
Butter: Melted butter helps bind the Oreo crust together, creating a solid base for the cheesecake. Use unsalted butter so the crust doesn’t become overly salty.
Cream Cheese: The heart of any cheesecake! Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature, so it blends smoothly into the filling. Full-fat cream cheese works best for a rich, creamy texture.
Powdered Sugar: Powdered sugar sweetens the cheesecake filling without adding graininess. If you prefer a less sweet cheesecake, you can adjust the amount to taste.
Vanilla Extract: Just a splash of vanilla enhances the flavor, adding warmth and balancing the sweetness of the filling.
Cool Whip or Whipped Topping: Cool Whip gives the cheesecake its light and fluffy texture. If you prefer homemade whipped cream, whip heavy cream with a bit of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form and fold it into the filling.

No special equipment is needed – just a mixing bowl, a spatula, and a springform pan for easy removal.

How To Make This No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

This No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake is so easy to make! Follow these simple steps to create a dessert everyone will love.

Make the Oreo Crust: Start by crushing the Oreos (filling included) into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even crust. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip or whipped topping until the filling is light and fluffy. Be careful not to over-mix – you want the filling to stay airy. Once combined, fold in the coarsely crushed Oreos for extra texture and flavor.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it into an even layer. Smooth the top with a spatula, then cover the pan with plastic wrap.
Chill and Set: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with extra Oreo crumbs, whole Oreos, or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Carefully remove the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!

In just a few easy steps, you’ll have a creamy, dreamy Oreo cheesecake ready to impress.

Storage Options

This Oreo Cheesecake keeps beautifully, so you can make it in advance or store any leftovers for later.

Refrigerator: Keep the cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to five days. The flavors continue to develop, so it tastes even better the next day!
Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze the cheesecake. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Serving Tip: For clean slices, dip a knife in warm water, wipe it dry, and slice. Repeat between each cut for perfect, mess-free slices.

Variations and Substitutions

This No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake is delicious as-is, but you can also switch things up with these fun variations!

Flavored Oreos: Try using different flavors of Oreos in the crust or filling. Mint, peanut butter, or birthday cake Oreos add a fun twist and give each bite a unique flavor.
Chocolate Filling: If you’re a chocolate lover, add ¼ cup of melted chocolate to the filling mixture before folding in the Cool Whip. It adds extra richness and makes the filling even more indulgent.
Peanut Butter Swirl: Add a swirl of peanut butter to the cheesecake filling for a delicious cookies-and-cream peanut butter combo. Simply dollop a few spoonfuls into the filling before smoothing it out in the pan.
Mini Cheesecakes: For individual servings, divide the crust and filling among cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Chill as directed and serve mini Oreo cheesecakes, perfect for parties or portion control.
Top with Ganache: For a luxurious finish, drizzle chocolate ganache over the top of the cheesecake. Just heat equal parts heavy cream and chocolate chips until smooth, and pour it over the cheesecake for an extra layer of chocolatey goodness.

With these variations, you can enjoy a new version of Oreo Cheesecake every time you make it!
