Delicious Oreo Cheesecake

A simple no-bake Oreo cheesecake with a buttery biscuit base and creamy vanilla filling, loaded with crushed Oreos and topped with mini biscuits for the perfect crowd-pleasing dessert.

By Ricky Robinson Updated August 21, 2022

Cheesecake is a much loved dessert in our house, with its creamy texture and rich flavours.

This no-bake Oreo cheesecake is the sort of dessert that makes gatherings easier. There's no need to worry about oven timings or checking if it's cooked through. You simply prepare it, let it set in the fridge, and it's ready when you are. That makes it ideal when you're hosting a BBQ or a family get-together and want to spend your time with guests rather than hovering around the kitchen.

The great thing about a no-bake cheesecake is you can make it the day before and forget about it until serving time.

The crushed Oreos add a bit of texture to the smooth cream cheese filling, giving you that satisfying contrast between creamy and crunchy in each bite.

What makes this cheesecake so straightforward is that you don't need any complicated techniques or special skills to get it right. The base is just crushed Oreos mixed with melted butter and pressed into the tin. The filling comes together quickly once you whip the double cream to stiff peaks, then fold in the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and more crushed Oreos. It's genuinely that simple.

The texture you're after is smooth and creamy, with those little biscuit pieces folded through for flavour and a bit of interest. Once it's chilled for at least three hours, the cheesecake firms up beautifully and slices cleanly. Decorating with mini Oreos on top isn't essential, but it looks good and gives people a hint of what's inside. This recipe has proven to be reliable time and again, which is exactly what you want when making something for a crowd.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Food Processor
  • 18cm Round Loose-Bottomed Tin
  • Spatula
  • Electric Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl

Instructions

  1. 1
    Line the base of an 18 cm round loose-bottomed tin with greaseproof paper.
  2. 2
    Melt the butter.
  3. 3
    Put the biscuits into a food processor and blitz until you have a sand-like texture, then add the butter and whiz again to make the mixture clump together.
  4. 4
    Put the biscuit mix into the prepared tin and use the back of a spoon to push it flat.
  5. 5
    Pop the tin into the fridge to chill while you make the cheesecake filling.
  6. 6
    Finely crush your Oreo biscuits.
  7. 7
    Whip the double cream until it forms stiff peaks. You can do this by hand, but an electric whisk or stand mixer is much faster.
  8. 8
    Add the cream cheese, caster sugar, vanilla extract and whip once more until the mixture forms stiff peaks again.
  9. 9
    Add the crushed Oreo biscuits and fold everything together.
  10. 10
    Remove the cheesecake base from the fridge. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the biscuit base and smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
  11. 11
    When you're ready to serve your cheesecake, remove it from the fridge, make sure it's been out of the fridge for 10 minutes before unclipping the tin.
  12. 12
    Decorate with mini biscuits and crush some more over the top.

Storage

Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. The cheesecake actually tastes better after 24 hours as the flavours develop.

Variations

Try using different biscuits in the base such as digestives or chocolate bourbons. You can also swap vanilla extract for peppermint extract for a minty twist.
