Recipe Summary

• Cook Time: None
• Total Time: 4 hours 25 minutes (including chilling time)
• Servings: 8-10
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (for the crust)
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup heavy cream, cold
• 10 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (for the filling)
• Whipped cream, for garnish
• Mini Oreo cookies, for garnish
• Optional: a pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Fold in the roughly chopped Oreos until evenly distributed throughout the filling.
6. Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
8. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and mini Oreo cookies for an extra touch of elegance.
9. Carefully remove the springform pan to reveal the cheesecake. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of salt to the crust mixture to balance the sweetness.
• If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought whipped topping in place of heavy cream.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure a smooth filling.

Storage Instructions & Ingredient Substitutions

The Oreo No-Bake Cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep it covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

If you prefer, you can substitute the Oreos with any of your favorite store-bought cookies, such as digestive biscuits or graham crackers, for the crust.
