No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake with Creamy Chocolate Filling
Oreo Cheesecake
Silky no-bake Oreo cheesecake—rich, chocolatey, and fridge-set for easy slicing.
Nutrition (per serving)
This no-bake Oreo cheesecake is a simple showstopper—silky cream-cheese filling studded with crunchy Oreo pieces on a chocolatey cookie crust. It’s one of those desserts that feels fancy but comes together without firing up the oven, which I love for warm nights and last-minute entertaining.
What makes it special is the contrast of textures: a buttery Oreo crust, luxuriously smooth filling, and pockets of cookie crunch. A quick ganache drizzle and a few extra cookies on top take it over the top and make each slice decadent and Instagram-ready.
It’s incredibly forgiving, so don’t be intimidated. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature, fold gently to keep the filling airy, and chill until set. Serve chilled with coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for pure comfort.
Ingredients
- Oreo cookies (regular), with filling:24 pieces
- Unsalted butter, melted:6 tbsp
- Cream cheese (full-fat), softened:24 oz
- Powdered sugar:1 cup
- Pure vanilla extract:2 tsp
- Sour cream:1/2 cup
- Heavy cream (for whipping):1 1/2 cup
- Mini or chopped Oreo pieces (for folding):10 pieces
- Semisweet chocolate, chopped (for ganache):4 oz
- Heavy cream (for ganache):1/4 cup
- Sea salt:1/8 tsp
- Extra crushed Oreos for garnish:1/4 cup
- 9-inch springform pan:1 pieces
Instructions
-
Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment and lightly grease the sides.
-
Place 24 Oreos in a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs (or put in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin). Transfer crumbs to a bowl and mix with 6 tbsp melted butter until evenly moistened.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom (and slightly up the sides, if desired) of the prepared pan to form the crust. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
-
In a large bowl, beat 24 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, and 1/8 tsp sea salt until smooth and lump-free using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
-
Whip 1 1/2 cups heavy cream to soft peaks in a separate chilled bowl. Fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese to lighten, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully combined and airy.
-
Fold 10 pieces of chopped Oreos into the filling, keeping some chunks for texture. Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
-
Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm and sliceable.
-
For the optional ganache: heat 1/4 cup heavy cream until just simmering, pour over 4 oz chopped semisweet chocolate, wait 1 minute, then stir until glossy and smooth. Let cool slightly before drizzling over the chilled cheesecake.
-
Garnish with extra crushed Oreos and whole cookies or whipped cream dollops, then run a warm knife under hot water, dry, and slice for clean pieces.
-
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; bring slices to a few minutes at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Tips & Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor—low-fat versions can make the filling loose.
- Bring cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps and overbeating.
- Don’t skip chilling: the cheesecake firms up in the fridge and slices much cleaner after several hours.
- If you don’t have a food processor, seal cookies in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin for an easy crust.
