A quick and easy no-bake Oreo cheesecake that is creamy, indulgent, and perfect for any occasion. Ready in just about 5 minutes of prep time with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo Cookies, crushed finely (reserve a few for garnish)
  • 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled, whipped to soft peaks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place 24 Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a processor, seal the cookies in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Reserve about 1/4 cup (30g) of crumbs for garnish.
  2. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine Oreo crumbs with 5 tablespoons (70g) melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  3. Press crust into pan: Transfer the crust mixture into a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan or pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to press down firmly and evenly. Place in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
  4. Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces (450g) softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy with an electric mixer. Gradually add 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition to avoid lumps.
  5. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream to soft peaks.
  6. Combine filling and cream: Gently fold the whipped cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully to keep the mixture light and airy.
  7. Mix in remaining Oreo crumbs: Fold in the remaining Oreo crumbs for texture and chocolate bursts.
  8. Assemble and chill: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smooth the top, sprinkle reserved Oreo crumbs on top for garnish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best set.

Notes

Do not rush the chilling stage; it is key for a firm yet creamy slice. Soften cream cheese properly to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks to maintain light texture. Press crust firmly for a sturdy base. To speed chilling, place cheesecake in freezer for the first hour without freezing it completely.
