The tang of the cheesecake perfectly balances the glorious sweetness of the Funfetti cake mix (with extra sprinkles) incorporated into the batter. Sounds pretty perfect, right? Sandwich it between a Golden Birthday Cake Oreo crust and a light and fluffy whipped cream topping and you’ve got yourself a dessert perfect for any celebration.

What Does Funfetti Cheesecake Taste Like?

Funfetti cheesecake tastes like the perfect combination of sweet, nostalgic, light, and fluffy vanilla birthday cake (you know, the kind with rainbow sprinkles in it!) and delightfully tangy cheesecake. It is chock-full of Golden Birthday Cake Oreos, rainbow sprinkles, and Funfetti flavor. Sugar rush anyone?

What You’ll Need

Golden Birthday Cake Oreos, Funfetti cake mix, rainbow sprinkles, and more. Can you think of a more celebratory combination? Here’s what you’ll need to make this birthday cake cheesecake. Scroll to the recipe below for detailed measurements.

For the crust

• Golden Birthday Cake Oreos. Out of oreos? No problem. You could easily sub in Nila wafers or graham crackers here.
• Sprinkles. Choose whichever color you’d like. I am partial to rainbow sprinkles.
• Butter. You will need to melt the butter. It holds all the crumbs and sprinkles together.

For the filling

• Cream cheese. The cream cheese must be at room temperature. It will incorporate into the batter much more smoothly, giving you a smooth, creamy filling. Be sure to use brick-style cream cheese, which is thicker than tub-style.
• Sugar. Use granulated sugar here.
• Vanilla extract
• Funfetti cake mix. You are actually going to heat treat the cake mix before adding it to avoid any issues from raw flour.
• Milk. I suggest using whole milk or 2%.
• Cool whip. Feeling adventurous? Make your own homemade whipped cream instead!
• Golden Birthday Cake Oreo crumbs
• Golden Birthday Cake Oreo, chopped
• Sprinkles. I like rainbow sprinkles, but you can choose whichever color you’d like.

For the whipped cream topping

• Heavy whipping cream. The heavy whipping cream must be cold otherwise it will not hold volume properly.
• Powdered sugar. Do not attempt to use a different sugar here. The powdered sugar stabilizes the whipped cream so it won’t wilt.
• Vanilla extract
• Golden Birthday Cake Oreo crumbs. These are optional, but fun on top.
• Golden Birthday Cake Oreos

How to Make No-Bake Funfetti Oreo Birthday Cake Cheesecake

A crust, a glorious filling, and a light and fluffy whipped cream is all it takes folks. Here’s a basic rundown of how to make this delightful birthday cake cheesecake. Make sure to scroll to the recipe below for more detailed instructions.

To make the crust

• Pulse the Oreos and sprinkles in a food processor to form crumbs.
• Combine the Oreo crumbs and sprinkle mixture with the melted butter.
• Press the crust into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a springform pan and refrigerate until firm.

To make the filling

• Mix together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
• Add the vanilla extract, cake mix, and milk and mix until combined.
• Fold in the Cool Whip followed by the Oreo crumbs, chopped Oreos, and sprinkles.
• Spread the filling over the crust and refrigerator for 4-5 hours before removing the sides of the springform pan.

To finish

• Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
• Pipe swirls of whipped cream around the top of the cheesecake.
• Garnish with Oreo crumbs and Oreo halves.

Tips for Preparing a No-Bake Cheesecake

I love a no-bake cheesecake. They are so quick and easy to throw together. There are a few simple tips and tricks that will give you the best possible outcome.

• Room-temperature cream cheese. Unless you want lumps in your cheesecake filling, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. It will incorporate smoothly with the other ingredients whereas cold cream cheese will not.
• Cold heavy whipping cream. It is crucial that the heavy cream start out chilled. It will not hold volume in the whipping process otherwise. No one wants a flat whipped cream.
• Use a springform pan. Trust me. Pulling a cheesecake out of a normal cake pan is an absolute pain. Make sure to use a springform pan. It will leave you with a much cleaner, more visually appealing, hassle-free result. Don’t have one? You can easily purchase a springform pan online or in stores.
• Let it set. In order for the filling to firm up properly, this no-bake cheesecake must chill in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours before topping and serving. Otherwise, you will have a sloppy mess.

Serving Suggestions

This celebratory dessert is a magnificent experience all on its own. That doesn’t mean you can’t dress it up a bit with a fun accompaniment or two. Here are some of my favorite things to serve alongside this birthday cake cheesecake.

• Ice cream. Serve this yummy dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Got a little extra time on your hands? Make your own! This Birthday Cake Ice Cream will absolutely blow your mind.
• Sauce. I love drizzling a bit of my Easy Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce, Easy Strawberry Sauce, or even this Easy Salted Caramel Sauce Recipe over this no-bake birthday cake cheesecake.

How to Store Leftovers

Find yourself with leftovers? No problem. Go ahead and close the remainder of the cheesecake in an airtight cake carrier and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. No cake carrier? No problem. Wrap the birthday cake cheesecake in a double layer of plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Use toothpicks to prop the plastic wrap away from the cake so as not to ruin any decorations.

Can I Freeze This?

You can! I suggest doing so before adding the whipped cream topping. Place the untopped cake in the freezer for a couple of hours to firm up (this is called flash freezing) before wrapping it in a double layer of plastic wrap and storing it in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Already topped the cake and looking to store slices? Flash freeze the individual slices before (a) wrapping them in plastic wrap or (b) sealing them together in an airtight container with a sheet of parchment paper separating any layers. Store the slices in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Regardless of the method you choose, when it comes time to enjoy, transfer the cake or slices to the refrigerator to thaw overnight before diving in.
