No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

What exactly is a no-bake cheesecake? It’s a cheesecake that you will never have to put inside an oven. This is why it’s one of the best desserts to make in the summer because you won’t heat up your home!

It truly is a no-bake dessert. It’s basically a fancy cheesecake with Oreo filling. And if you love cheesecake, it’s the perfect combination of the two sweets.

Whether you are looking for an after-dinner dessert to make for your family, or you want to take the No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake to your next dinner party it surely is a favorite. It really doesn’t take a lot of prep time or ingredients.

Let’s get baking! 

No Bake Oreo Cheesecake Ingredients

You only need a few ingredients to make this fun cheesecake. 

No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

  • a few Oreos
  • unsalted butter
  • cream cheese
  • powdered sugar
  • pure vanilla extract
  • heavy cream
  • dark chocolate chips

How to Make No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

First, let’s start with making cheesecake. You will want to add the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor and blitz until broken down into fine crumbs and transfer to a mixing bowl. 

No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

Pour the melted butter over the Oreo crumbs. Make sure you really stir well to combine.

Press the mixture into the base of an 8-9” springform cake pan, smoothing it out in an even layer with the back of a spoon. Now you want to place this in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes before adding the filling.

Once it’s chilled, add the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer. You want to beat the mixture with the whisk attachment on a medium speed until combined. If preferred, you can use an electric hand whisk. You don’t have to break out the stand mixer. 

Add the cream and whisk on medium speed until thickened. At this point, the mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape.

The best part. Add around 12 Oreos, crushed. Mixed at a slow speed until evenly distributed through the mixture. Now, spoon the mixture on top of your chilled cheesecake base, spreading it out to the edges smoothly.

Tap the pan down on the counter a few times to help get rid of any air bubbles. You will want to make sure you chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours but I would preferably chill overnight for best results.

Moving onto the absolutely delicious and my favorite part – the chocolate ganache topping. My kids love to help with making the topping because they know it’s almost time to dive into a piece of cheesecake when we are making the topping. 

Now keep in mind if you want to make a substitution here, the chocolate ganache topping can be omitted for a simple Oreo cheesecake. Or you could simply drizzle melted chocolate all over the top.

First, you want to add chocolate chips into a mixing bowl. Then grab your saucepan and add the cream and heat on a medium setting until just starting to boil. Once it starts to boil you want to immediately put the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for about 2 minutes.

Whisk until shiny and smooth! My kids are always ready to lick the whisk. It just looks so good!

Leave the ganache to cool for about 5 minutes while you remove the cheesecake from your pan. Sometimes this can be tricky but it doesn’t have to be.

To remove the cheesecake from the pan, first, run a sharp knife around the edge. Then carefully unclip the sides of the springform pan and remove it.

Use two spatulas or a cake lifter to slide underneath the base of the cheesecake and transfer it to your serving plate.

And now we are back to the delicious ganache. Pour the ganache on top of the cheesecake and spread it out to the edges with a spoon or a palette knife.

If you want to create a drip effect, you can push a little of the ganache over the edge in spots all around the cheesecake. If you want to add a little touch, I top it with Oreo crumbs, and extra Oreos for oreo halves if desired. Serve and enjoy!
