Easy No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
I truly love Oreos. Those classic sandwich cookies have my heart and it is my intention to find as many ways to incorporate them into fun desserts as possible. This updated no bake Oreo cheesecake is one of my favorites because it combines two of my favorite things – Oreos and cheesecake.
In this crowd-pleasing dessert, a slightly crunchy Oreo crust is topped with a creamy cheesecake filling that is absolutely packed with Oreo flavor. The whole thing is finished off with a light, fluffy whipped cream topping and a smattering of Oreo crumbles. Yum! And, just like all of my other no bake cheesecakes, there is no baking involved. Although you can bake the crust, if you like. I find that helps the crust hold its shape a little better during cutting. As much as I love my Best Oreo Cheesecake, the no bake aspect of this dessert makes preparing a cheesecake less daunting and much more time efficient.

What You’ll Need
You basically need a lot of Oreos…and a few other things too. But it’s far less than it’s baked counterpart. Here is the list of ingredients needed to make no bake Oreo cheesecake. Scroll to the recipe below for detailed measurements.
For the crust
- Oreo crumbs – I suggest using classic Oreos here, but you could also play with other flavors. Leave the cream filling in the Oreo when you crush them. I’d avoid double stuf or similar ones with more filling. If using those, you would need to just the amount of butter.
- Butter – Melted. Salted or unsalted would work.
For the filling
- Cream cheese – The cream cheese must be at room temperature. If it is too cold, it will not incorporate well with the other ingredients, leaving you with a clumpy filling.
- Sugar – Granulated sugar is best here.
- Vanilla extract – For flavor.
- Heavy whipping cream – The whipping cream must be cold. If it is too warm it will not hold volume or whip as well.
- Powdered sugar – Do not try to use a different kind of sugar here, the filling will fall flat.
- Oreo crumbs – I used traditional Oreos here, but feel free to play around with your favorite version of the sandwich cookie.
- Chopped Oreos – You could also play around with different flavors here.
For the whipped cream topping
- Heavy whipping cream – If the whipping cream is not cold, it will not hold volume as well, making it difficult to achieve the correct consistency for the whipped cream.
- Powdered sugar – This stabilizes the whipped cream. Don’t leave it out.
- Vanilla extract – For flavor.
- Oreo crumbs – Again, feel free to play around with your favorite Oreo flavors.
- Oreos – For decorating.
How to Make No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
This no bake Oreo cheesecake is super simple to put together without having to bake it. And it comes together so quickly. Scroll to the recipe below for more detailed instructions.
Make the Crust
- Combine the Oreo crumbs and the melted butter.
- Press. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and press the crust mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides.
- Chill. Place the crust-filled pan in the refrigerator to set.
For the filling
- Mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture followed by the Oreo crumbs and chopped-up Oreos.
- Spread the Oreo cheesecake filling over the prepared crust
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours.
For the whipped cream topping
- Whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble. Top the filled cheesecake with whipped cream and more Oreos.
Tips for Making No Bake Cheesecakes
Yes, I have tips and tricks for you! Follow these gems of cheesecake wisdom to your perfect no bake Oreo confection.
- Use a drinking glass. You can use your hands but you will achieve a firmer, more consistent crust if you use the bottom of a glass to press the crust into the bottom of the pan.
- Line the bottom of the springform pan with parchment paper. You will thank me for it later. This makes it so much easier to remove the cake from the pan when it’s time to serve.
- Start with room-temperature cream cheese. It will incorporate with the other ingredients more easily than would cold cream cheese, helping you avoid a clumpy cheesecake filling.
- Don’t skimp on powdered sugar. When making the whipped cream mixture for the cheesecake filling and topping, it is important to use the prescribed amount of powdered sugar. The sugar stabilizes the whipped mixture, which is important in ensuring that your cake doesn’t fall flat.
- Fold gently. When folding the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling, work slowly and gently to ensure that you maintain as much volume as possible.
- Sub in Cool Whip. Although making your own whipped cream is always preferable, if you are short on time, you can use Cool Whip in the cheesecake portion and/or the topping portion of this dessert.
Can I Make This in a Pie Plate?
You can, but you’ll want to reduce the Oreo crust to the pie measurements in my crust recipe. You’ll also want to cut the filling in half. Otherwise you’ll have too much.
What Kind of Cream Cheese Do I Use?
You’ll want to use full fat brick-style cream cheese. Cream cheese in a tub will end up too soft. Reduced fat cream cheese can be a bit of a gamble because it can end up giving you a softer filing. Go for the good stuff and grab the full fat cream cheese.
Do I Remove The Filling From The Oreos?
No, there’s no need to remove the filling from the Oreos. In the crust, it helps hold everything together. In fact, if you remove it, you would need to add a little additional butter. And in the filling, it adds to the great Oreo flavor!
How to Store Leftovers
If you find yourself with leftovers, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or store it in an air-tight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
Can I Freeze No Bake Cheesecake?
Yes, you can! Well, almost. Save the whipped cream topping for when you are ready to serve but feel free to wrap the un-topped dessert in 2 layers of plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy the cake, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before topping with whipped cream and Oreos.

https://trinidalitism.com/2015/06/28/oreo-heaven/
I’m glad you enjoyed it. The photos look great! I love how you made them in jars. 🙂
A 1st timer here…can i mix without using mixer? just do it manually…coz i dont hv 1
It might be tough without some kind of mixer, as the cream cheese can be kind of firm. But yes, you don’t have to have a mixer.
I made this recipe today but I’m wondering if my cheesecake will set because i overbeat the whipping cream when i mixed it with the cream cheese mixture. 🙁 i am planning to chill it for 12 hrs. Just in case it doesnt set, can i bake it to set using the water bath technique? Or what remedy can i do to rescue the cheesecake?
If the whipped cream was just very thick from overbeating, it should be fine.
How many does this serve?
I’d say 12-14, depending on how big you cut the slices.
This is gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous!
Hye, tried ur recipe with half the time not seemingly sure if I’m rite. Its my first time making cheesecake. But I just went with my gut feeling. Put them in a fridge overnite. Coincidentally, its my sister’s bday today so I had her brought the cake to the office. Her colleagues were LOVING it alrite!! Tq so much for the no fail recipe considering I’m a first timer cheesecake maker..haha
Love from Singapore
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I made this recipe today. Must’ve eaten a few tablespoons worth of filling while I was mixing.. It was so good. I used a bowl instead of a pan to make it in since we don’t have any circular pans. Hopefully it doesn’t affect it, but even if it does, my family can scoop it out. Can’t wait to taste it. Thanks for the recipe!
I’m so glad you like it! Thanks Lelah!
Hi! I was wondering if you knew how much of this recipe I would need to reduce in order to bake it in a 6-inch springform? It’s all I have 🙁
I’d think probably cutting it in half would work.
Hello… Uhmm i don’t have any whip cream or heavy cream. I’ve tried searching stores here in my place and they don’t have any.. What i have is nestle all purpose cream. It says.. ‘Easy Whip’ so does this mean i can still use this? By using this cream, how do i make use of it? Pls reply asap.. I will be hopefuly surving it on new year. And yes this is my first time ‘baking’ 🙂 hope you can help me
I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you before New Years. Did it work out for you. I’m not sure I know what the different kind of creams are, so it’d be hard for me to advise. The heavy cream I use is whipped until stiff with powdered sugar added in to stabilize it.
Hi, wondering if i can substitute the caramel with butterscotch (as i have some ready made in my fridge)? If yes, how much (ml) to use? Thanks
Did you mean to comment on a different recipe? This comment showed up on the No Bake Oreo Cheesecake, which doesn’t use caramel. I’m not sure how to advise.
Ops I’m sorry, it was as you mentioned, for a different recipe.
However, I got a chance to make this and it’s the most delicious cake I’ve made!
I’ve been thinking of it ever since I finished my last piece and just made it again tonight. Thanks for this wonderful and easy recipe.
I ran out of whipped cream (only used 1/3 of the needed amount)and added some millk instead to reduce the thickness. Will let u know if it still taste as good.
Extra yummy. Grated chocolate on top!
Hi.doe it melt when taken out of the fridge for 1-2 hours?
No, it will soften, but not melt.
Hi, i am trying to do the unbaked cheesecake just now.
but i found that the mixture is too watery. not like sticky.
is that impossible to use hand to mix them into sticky form?
is that because of i add in some gelatin powder? because i saw from other receipt that need to add in gelatin powder.
how will the cake look like is the mixture not enough sticky?
am very sad now since like my first cheese cake is failure product. D:
Thanks
I have never tried this cheesecake with gelatin in it, so I’m not sure about how it affects it. I’m sorry. It really doesn’t need it, so maybe try again without the gelatin.
Oh my goodness, this was REALLY good! Thank you so much for this recipe, as well as the homemade whipped cream too – was very nervous about making the whipped cream but it turned out fine. Made the cake two days back, let it to set for about 10+ hours and when I tried it today, I was more than satisfied. It was so good! My friends whom I’ve shared it with share the same sentiments as well!
I have no oven, so I’m looking forward to more no bake recipes! 😀 x
Awesome! I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it!
I have quite a few no bake recipes, so I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Hi, can I do this without a mixer? I’m living alone in Singapore and it’s too costly for me to buy a mixer as I don’t do these kinds of desserts that often. But, I’d love to try. Can suggest any ingredient to add to suffice the lack of mixer? Or, any technique? Thank you! Your photos are amazing!
It might be kind of tough to get the cream cheese nice and smooth without a mixer, but it’d be worth a try. If you have something to mash and mix it with, that might work best. I’d try something like a muddler to mash it and a big fork to mix.
I love this recipe! I made it for a friend’s dinner and everyone loved it!. I did make a slight change to it. I completely misread the instructions and did not have enough oreo crumbs for the filling, so I added fine chopped dark chocolate (72%), about 1cup, and it cut down on the sweetness and has a stronger chocolate flavor
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Great job improvising – sounds delicious! 🙂
