    Oreo Cheesecake (No Bake)

    Oreo Cheesecake

    Oreo lovers, get ready to meet your new favourite cheesecake! This Oreo Cheesecake is no bake, has an Oreo biscuit base, a creamy vanilla filling with Oreo crumbs mixed into it, then it's topped with chocolate, whipped cream and more Oreos of course! I've stuffed Oreos into every aspect of this easy to make dessert to create the ultimate Oreo cheesecake. It would be an amazing dessert for a birthday or any celebration, and the Oreo fan in your life will adore it!

    Oreo Cheesecake

    Ingredient Tips & Equipment Information

    • It is really important to stick to the ingredients and use full fat cream cheese and double cream (a cream with a 48% fat content), both of these ingredients are essential to ensure the no bake cheesecake sets. If you want to make a low fat version, I suggest doing this in small dessert glasses or ramekins as they will not set well enough to be sliced.
    • I am based in the UK and I find that Philadelphia cream cheese is the thickest and best quality cream cheese to use for no bake cheesecakes. I have made many cheesecakes with supermarket own brand cream cheeses too, and they have worked great. If you can though, I think it is worth spending a little more for Philadelphia (and no they haven't paid me to say this!)
    • I like to use digestive biscuits (Graham crackers if you're in the US) for the base, but you could substitute if for another similar biscuit like Hobnobs.
    • You can use either butter or baking spread for the biscuit base, I find that baking spread makes the cheesecake easier to remove from the tin as it doesn't make the base set as solidly.
    • You could use any flavour of Oreo for this recipe such as mint, peanut butter or golden oreos.
    • You can find lots of answers to common no bake cheesecake questions on my How To Make A No Bake Cheesecake guide. If you've never made a no bake cheesecake before, I highly recommend reading through my guide first!
    • Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
    • For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

    For the full recipe with measurements, head to the recipe card at the end of this post.

    How to make Oreo Cheesecake

    To make the biscuit base, blitz the Oreo biscuits into crumbs and mix them with melted butter. Press the mixture into the base of a springform tin, then put in the fridge to set.

    To make the filling, whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Then add the double cream and whisk until thick and holds its shape.

    Stir in Oreo crumbs, then smooth the mixture into the tin and place in the fridge overnight to set. To decorate, remove from the tin and drizzle melted chocolate all over the cheesecake. Then add whipped cream and more Oreos!

    Oreo Cheesecake

    How do you make sure the cheesecake sets?

    When you’re mixing the filling, you want it to get to a stage where you can scoop some up with your spatula or spoon and you have to give it a tap on the side of the bowl or slight flick of the wrist to get the mixture off the spoon. If it’s sloppy and slides right off the spoon without any encouragement needed, then you need to mix it more. Always use an electric mixer for best results. It’s also very important to use full fat cream cheese and double cream (heavy cream), as any low fat versions will affect the setting of the cheesecake. I always set my cheesecake overnight in the fridge, I’d suggest a minimum of 4 hours.

    How do you remove a no bake cheesecake from the tin?

    To see step by step photos and a video showing you how to remove a no bake cheesecake from the tin, as well as the answers to lots of other common no bake cheesecake questions, check out my How to make a No Bake Cheesecake guide!

    How should the cheesecake be stored and can it be frozen?

    Store the cheesecake in the fridge to keep it fresh and enjoy it within 2-3 days. It will be fine after 3 days, but I always find fresh cream is nicer when eaten within 2 days. You can freeze the cheesecake without the decoration. Before you freeze it, you do need to set it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, then move to the freezer. I usually freeze the cheesecake in the tin, with cling film covering the top. Check your tin is freezer safe before doing this. Or you can remove it from the tin and freeze it in an airtight container. Or freeze it on a plate and when it is frozen solid, then cover it with cling film. Make sure to remove the cling film as soon as you take it out to defrost.

    What is the best way to crush the Oreo biscuits?

    The easiest way is to use a food processor, it will also give you the best results and it will be very fast. If you don't have a food processor, you can put the Oreos in a bowl and use the end of a rolling pin to crush them (or if you have a pestle and mortar then that would work too!) Another option is to put the Oreos in a freezer bag and again use a rolling pin to crush them.

    Can this cheesecake be made gluten free?

    Yes! To make this recipe gluten free, swap the Oreos in the biscuit base for a gluten free alternative. You will also need a gluten free alternative to Oreos for the cheesecake filling and for decorating the cheesecake. I would also recommend that you check the packaging of everything you're using in the recipe in case of cross contamination. And especially if you're serving this to someone with an allergy or intolerance.

    More tips for making the Oreo Cheesecake:

    • You could make this cheesecake with any of the Oreo flavours. For example you could use the mint Oreos and swap the vanilla extract in the filling for peppermint extract. You could even make it with other filled biscuits like custard creams
    • I used a Ateco 849 nozzle to pipe the cream onto the cheesecake
    • I drizzled melted dark chocolate over the cheesecake, but you could use milk or even white chocolate instead

        Hi Ellen, yes you can, but you do need to let it set in the fridge first. I also don't recommend freezing it with the whipped cream decoration on top. I hope that helps!
