No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed Oreos (for mixing in)
For topping:
- 6-8 Oreos, roughly chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
In a food processor or using a plastic bag and rolling pin, crush the 24 Oreos into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and mix until the crumbs are fully coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish, ensuring it forms an even layer. Refrigerate the crust for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until combined and smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the crushed Oreos.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Once the crust is chilled and firm, spread the Oreo cheesecake filling over the crust, smoothing it into an even layer. Tap the pan on the counter to settle the filling.
Chill the Cheesecake:
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the cheesecake to firm up and set completely.
Top and Serve:
Once set, remove the cheesecake from the fridge. Top with the chopped Oreos and serve immediately. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
Benefits:
- Oreos provide a crunchy and indulgent base and topping, perfect for chocolate lovers.
- Cream cheese and heavy cream create a rich, smooth texture that contrasts beautifully with the crispiness of the Oreo crust.
