Why You’ll Love This Oreo Cheesecake

This Oreo Cheesecake recipe is perfect for busy women juggling work, family, and everything in between. It’s simple, quick to put together, and it packs a flavor punch that will have everyone begging for seconds (and the recipe, of course!). Not only does it look fabulous—it’s also a no-bake delight that doesn’t require you to turn on the oven. So, let’s get started!

Ingredients

To whip up this mouthwatering Oreo Cheesecake, you’ll need the following ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 24 Oreo cookies (plus a few extra for decoration, because why not?)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature (the fluffier, the better!)
• 1 cup powdered sugar (sweeten your day, one spoonful at a time)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for that extra kick of flavor)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream (the secret to the dreamy creaminess)
• 12 crushed Oreo cookies (yes, we’re using more Oreos—no one’s complaining!)

Directions

Step 1: Make the Crust

1. First, grab your blender or food processor and crush the 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Imagine you’re a superhero smashing the villain—just don’t forget to save a few cookies for later!
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter. Mix until it’s all moistened and resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy. Just give it a few minutes—patience is key here, folks!
4. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until it’s evenly incorporated. If you’ve got some energetic kids around, let them take a crack at mixing (extra fun points for them)!
5. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this into the cream cheese mixture. You want it light and fluffy, not a workout—so be gentle!
6. Finally, fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. The more, the merrier, I always say!

Step 3: Assemble and Chill

7. Pour the cheesecake filling over your prepared crust and smooth the top.
8. Pop it into the fridge for at least 4-6 hours (or preferably overnight) to set. Now’s the perfect time to put your feet up with a good book or binge-watch a series.

Step 4: Decorate and Serve

9. Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Decorate the top with whipped cream, and arrange some of the reserved Oreo cookies on top for that Instagram-worthy look. You might need to fight off family members while you take the perfect picture!

Cooking Tips

• No cream cheese? No problem! You can substitute it with mascarpone cheese. Just be aware that it might change the texture a bit!
• If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle some crushed Oreo cookies on top before serving for an added crunch—because it’s always about that crunch!
• Feeling impatient? If you’re short on time, a quick 1-hour chill in the freezer will help, but try not to rush it if you can avoid it!
