    Are you obsessed with Oreos??

    Delicious crunchy chocolate cookies sandwiched together with a smooth creamy filling... they're simply the best!

    While Oreos are delicious eaten straight from the packet, they're even better when used in baking recipes!

    Just like this creamy Oreo cheesecake, my 3 ingredient Oreo Truffles, Cookies & Cream Fudge, Oreo Mud Cake and Cookies & Cream No-Bake Slice are all super delicious recipes using Oreos as the star ingredient.

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    A crunchy base and a filling loaded with cookies and cream makes this Oreo cheesecake the perfect dessert to share at any gathering or special occasion.

    • Feeds a crowd - cheesecakes are notoriously rich and intensely flavoured so you only need a small(ish) slice. This no-bake Oreo cheesecake is perfect for when you need a dessert for a large gathering - serves up to 16!
    • Make ahead of time - I like to be super organised, so one thing I love is when dessert can be prepared ahead of time. You can make this cheesecake a day ahead so there's ZERO chance of any last minute rush!
    • Special occasion - whether it's for a birthday party or friends for dinner, this decadent cheesecake is choc-full of cookies and cream flavour - a guaranteed hit!
    • No-bake dessert - the most difficult thing about this Oreo cheesecake is waiting patiently for it to chill!
    • Conventional and Thermomix - instructions for both methods are included in the recipe card below.
    • No eggs required either - a simple egg-free recipe that everyone can enjoy.

    What You Need

    There's Oreos in the base, there's Oreos in the filling, and there's Oreos on top... what more could you want!?

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    Ingredients for no-bake cheesecake set out on a bench top.

    For The Base

    • Oreos - 2 packets of original Oreos. The cookies are crushed along with the cream filling as well, for a super crunchy and creamy chocolate biscuit base.
    • Butter - melted. Unsalted or salted, either is fine to use in the Oreo cheesecake base.

    For The Filling

    • Oreos - 1 packet original Oreos.
    • Cream - lightly whipped. Use a full-fat thickened or heavy cream, this helps the filling to firm.
    • White chocolate melts - or a block of baking white chocolate.
    • Gelatine powder - this is dissolved in boiling water before being added to the filling.
    • Cream cheese - choose a full-fat cream cheese in a block (not low fat or spreadable). Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling with no lumps.
    • Vanilla bean paste - or vanilla extract.
    • Caster sugar - dissolves easily with the other filling ingredients and adds a sweetness to the filling without being over sweet. Caster sugar is also known as superfine sugar.

    To Decorate

    • Mini Oreos - optional.

    Equipment Required

    Besides several large mixing bowls and spoons, you will need:

    • 23cm springform tin - greased and lined with baking paper.
    • Food processor or a rolling pin - to crush the Oreo cookies.
    • Stand mixer or hand held beater - to whip the cream.
    • Microwave or stove top - to melt the white chocolate melts.

    Of course, if you have a Thermomix (optional), you can use that for multipurpose - crushing the cookies, whipping cream, and melting the chocolate!

    Step By Step Instructions

    Follow my simple step by step instructions for Oreo cheesecake!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Prepare The Base

    Grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm spring-form pan with baking paper and set aside.

    Finely crush the Oreos, including the cream filling, in a food processor and place into a bowl.

    Add the melted butter to the bowl and mix until combined.

    Crush the extra packet of Oreos for the filling (a few little chunks are ok) and set this aside in another bowl to use in the filling.

    Press the mixture firmly into the base of the lined pan and place into the fridge while you prepare the filling.

    Step 2 - Whip The Cream

    Whip the cream until it has thickened, then set aside.

    Step 3 - Melt the White Chocolate

    Melt the white chocolate melts in a microwave at 50% power in 30 second bursts, and then set this aside to cool slightly.

    Step 4 - Dissolve The Gelatine

    Pour ¼ cup of boiling water into a cup, sprinkle over the gelatine and stir until dissolved. Set this aside to cool slightly while you beat the cream cheese.

    Step 5 - Beat the Cream Cheese

    Beat the cream cheese, vanilla bean paste and caster sugar until smooth and creamy.

    Expert Tips

    This super popular no-bake Oreo cheesecake is just the dessert for a special occasion. You'll be guaranteed to get repeated requests for it, AND for the recipe too!

    Here's a few tips:

    • Use a spring-form tin (with a removable bottom) so that you can easily remove the cheesecake from the tin. When you are ready to serve, carefully run a knife along the sides and gently remove the base before sliding the cheesecake onto a serving plate.
    • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the Oreos by placing them in a freezer bag and using a rolling pin.
    • Chill the base in the fridge while you make the filling.
    • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth and creamy filling with no lumps.
    • Don’t use 'light' cream cheese or 'light' cream, as the filling won’t set properly, use full-fat for best results.
    • The cream is whipped separately before being added to the filling mixture, as this helps the cheesecake to hold firmer.
    • Chill the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, to allow it to set into sliceable sections. Make it the day before and keep it in the fridge overnight, for best results.
    • Decorate with mini Oreos, or your choice of topping, just prior to serving.

    FAQs

    How do I store no-bake Oreo cheesecake?

    When stored in an airtight container in the fridge, this cheesecake will keep for 4-5 days.

    What about freezing no-bake Oreo Cheesecake?

    Allow the cheesecake to set fully in the fridge before slicing (or freeze it whole). Wrap the individual serves or whole cheesecake and store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
    To thaw, leave it in the fridge overnight, or at room temperature for 1-2 hours (individual slices) until thawed, then decorate prior to serving.

    Other serving suggestions:

    I like to add mini Oreo's around the edge of the cheesecake just prior to serving, but you could also sprinkle some more crushed Oreo's over the top instead if you prefer.
    You could also drizzle some melted milk chocolate over the top, or even spread with chocolate ganache for a super indulgent dessert!

      I haven't tried this yet but I want to. The packages of oreos you have in the photo are not a size I'm familiar with where I live. Is there a number of oreos for each step, since saying 1 or 2 packages doesn't mean the same thing depending on sizing. Thanks!
