How to Make No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
We’ll walk through how to make this recipe step by step, and be sure to watch the video for additional guidance.
Make the Oreo Crust
Trace the bottom of a 9” springform pan on a piece of parchment paper, cut out the circle and place it in the bottom of the springform pan.
Put 22 Oreo cookies in a food processor fitted with an “S” blade and process until they reach the texture of fine crumbs.
Then, transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl and add the granulated sugar and melted butter. Stir until the mixture clumps and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Next, pour the crust mixture into the prepared springform pan, pressing it down into the bottom of the dish and halfway up the sides.
Transfer the crust to the freezer while you make the filling.
Make the Filling
The first step in making the filling is to coarsely chop the remaining Oreos (it should be about 18 if you bought a family-sized package as indicated in the recipe card).
Then, beat the heavy whipping cream and ½ cup powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form, either in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer. Set the whipped cream aside in the refrigerator.
Then, in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the wire whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese and remaining 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
Next, add the sour cream, vanilla and pinch of sea salt and beat until smooth.
Then, gently beat the whipped cream mixture into the filling on low speed.
Lastly, fold in the coarsely chopped Oreos.
Assemble & Chill
Once the filling is complete, spread it evenly over the frozen Oreo crust. Then, put the springform pan in the freezer and chill until hardened.
Once set, remove the no bake Oreo cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
Garnish with homemade whipped cream and extra Oreos !
Serve
Serve the no bake Oreo cheesecake chilled, but not frozen.
Store/Freeze
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month one of two ways:.
- Freeze the entire cheesecake. Make and chill the cheesecake, then put it in the freezer to harden for 1-2 hours. Once it is hardened, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cutting and serving.
- Freeze individual slices. If you have a few leftover slices you want to freeze, place them on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer to flash-freeze them. Then, once they’re frozen, wrap them in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for about 6 hours.
