How to make No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

- Spoon the filling onto the cooled crust and gently spread it into an even layer.
- Cover and allow to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours (6 is better) or add toppings.
Toppings:

Oreo No Bake Cheesecake substitutions
Can I replace the Cool Whip for whipped cream? You can however, you’ll need to wait longer before serving. You’ll also want to prepare the whipped cream in a separate bowl before adding it to the cream cheese mixture.
Cream Cheese: I haven't made this with low fat cream cheese but I think it might work! I'd use Neufchatel blocks of cream cheese instead of regular blocks of cream cheese. Do not use cream cheese spread or whipped cream cheese, it does not firm up the same!
Oreo Cheesecake Recipe No Bake tips
Cream Cheese: The cream cheese does not need to be softened to make this recipe. The step of beating the cream cheese at the beginning helps loosen up the cream cheese.
I used the blocks of cream cheese full fat and not whipped. I’ve tested this recipe using store brand cream cheese and Philadelphia cream cheese and there was no difference.
Cool Whip: The Cool Whip was removed from the freezer 10 minutes before it was used so it was thawed and I found that to be easier to work with.
If you want to top the no bake cheesecake with whipped cream instead of the cream cheese mixture it will need to be added right before serving, melting will happen.

Why is my no-bake cheesecake not firm? You might not have waited long enough. 2 hours is the minimum amount of time you can wait before serving but for best results you’ll want to wait 6 hours.

Ingredients
Crust:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted, 60g
- 26 Oreo cookies
Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese 452 g or 2 blocks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4.9ml
- 1 cup powdered sugar 130g
- 8 oz container of Cool Whip 226 g original
- 6 Oreo cookies
Optional Toppings:
- 10 Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese 251 g or 1 block
- 1 cup powdered sugar 130 g
Instructions
- Add the butter to a microwave-safe bowl or cup then place it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to melt the butter fully.
- Add the 26 Oreos to a food processor with the S blade attached. Pulse 10 times then scrap the sides. Process for about 10-15 seconds or until fine crumbs have formed.
- Slowly pour the butter into the Oreo crumb mixture and pulse until the crumbs have been moistened. I pulsed 4 times to achieve the correct consistency.
- Pour the crumb mixture out into a 10 inch springform pan and firmly press, with your hands, the crumbs into the bottom forming the crust. Place it in the fridge while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- In a medium-large mixing bowl, or the bowl of your stand mixer, add the cream cheese. Using an electric beater, or your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Smooth down the sides if using a stand mixer.
- Add the powdered sugar to the bowl with the cream cheese and beat until the powdered sugar is incorporated.
- Then add in the Cool Whip and vanilla. Mix with your electric mixer, or stand mixer, making sure to scrape down the sides because the cream cheese does like to stick to the sides of the bowl. Mix until well incorporated.
- Place 6 Oreos in a plastic bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin, your hands, or a pan.
- Using a spatula, fold the Oreos into the cheesecake mixture to fully combine.
- Remove the springform pan from the fridge and spoon the cheesecake mixture on to the crust. Using a spatula or an offset spatula gently spread the mixture out into 1 even layer.
- Place in the fridge and if you’re adding the toppings go to the next step. If not, allow it to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Topping instructions:
- If you’re using the toppings, add the remaining cream cheese (8 oz) to a mixing bowl, using your electric mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add in the remaining powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Beat the cream cheese mixture until nice and smooth. Almost whipped.
- Prepare your piping bag or baggie with a star tip. A Wilton 2D tip was used for this recipe.
- Spoon mixture into your prepared piping bag or a plastic zip baggie.
- Pipe a dollop or the cream cheese mixture around the edge of the pan making sure not to touch the edge of the springform pan (it might stick to the sides and be hard to remove later). Then press in additional Oreos between the cream cheese dollops.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to overnight.
- To serve, remove the plastic wrap and outer ring of the springform pan, then cut into the cheesecake with a knife, cutting 9 even slices.
- Before releasing the springform side, using a butter knife, scrape the side to make sure the springform is removed clean! This is an important step!!!
- Keep the cheesecake covered and in the fridge when not serving.
