HOW DO YOU MAKE OREO CHEESECAKE?
This no bake Oreo cheesecake starts with a delicious Oreo cookie crust. The crisp crust is then filled with a creamy no bake cheesecake filling that’s studded with more Oreos. Add a chocolate fudge topping and you’ve got a show stopping dessert. The hardest part is waiting for the cheesecake to set up in the fridge!
Tips for Oreo cheesecake
- This no bake cheesecake needs to be prepared at least 6 hours before you plan on serving it because it needs to firm up in the fridge. It’s best to keep this cheesecake refrigerated until right before you plan to serve it, especially on a hot day.
- You can garnish your cheesecake with chocolate curls as I’ve done here, or with chopped Oreo cookies.
- To make chocolate shavings, simply warm up a wrapped chocolate bar by holding it between your hands. You want the chocolate to be just slightly pliable. Use a vegetable peeler to make the chocolate curls. If the curls start to break, simply warm the chocolate again in your hands before proceeding.
- I used a star tip to pipe the whipped cream decorations on top of the cheesecake. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can simply use a gallon sized resealable freezer bag with the tip snipped off.
HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP A NO BAKE CHEESECAKE IN THE FRIDGE?
You can keep a no bake cheesecake in the fridge for 3-5 days. If your cheesecake contains more perishable ingredients such as fresh fruit, it won’t last quite as long. Be sure to keep your cheesecake tightly covered for storage.
CAN YOU FREEZE A NO BAKE CHEESECAKE?
You can definitely freeze your Oreo cheesecake if you’re planning to store the cheesecake for a longer period of time. It needs to be effectively covered so it doesn’t get freezer burn. It will also need to be removed from the freezer with plenty of time to thaw before serving. Your cookies are more likely to soften up in the filling after they’ve been frozen and defrosted.
There’s nothing better than finding a delicious, yet easy dessert that’s great for just about any occasion. I love how little time this treat takes to put together, yet it looks super impressive and tastes fabulous.

This cake looks amazing. It’s like a dream come true. I am definitely trying it this weekend.
My niece loves oreos. This recipe will be perfect when we celebrate her birthday. 🙂
This looks like a dream come true! Oreos are always a good idea espcially for this cheesecake!! Wow!
As it’s starting to get a bit warmer out there, it’s great to have recipes like this that are so tasty but won’t heat up my house with the oven! Delish!
Love those layers especially that oreo cookie itself, such a fun surprise! Two of the best desserts paired up together, amazing!
This cheesecake has so many amazing layers! It was a total hit with my entire family!
SO VERY YUM I HAVE MADE THIS TWICE!!! One to the recipe and second just doubling the recipe!! 🙂 Amazing results both times, comes out just as it says. Not changed anything and will keep it that way:):) SO SO GOOD i get many awesome comments and the only thing to beware of is, there probably wont be any leftovers! Awwww! BOTHER!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

I use granulated sugar!
This cake looks amazing. I love the presentation and it this cool that this is made at home!
Looks so good and easy ! Oreos are always a crowd pleaser!
With the hot summer season, this is a great recipe for a dessert. I love eating a cool treat while its hot and this is perfect without turning on my oven.
Oh this looks delicious. And even though I am not a good cook, I think I might be able to make this one! I am going to pin it to my recipe board and try it out soon.
This sounds like a delicious treat to make any time of year, but especially for the summer. I absolutely love Oreos. I refer to Double Stuf as “extra strength” Oreos. Now I want to go and eat some. Mmm…
wow, that looks amazing. Definitely, want to try and bake that. Your photos make me want to jump through my computer screen and eat a slice right now.
Honestly, I was never a fan of Oreo, but this definitely looks delicious. Will try it out someday. Thanks for the recipe.
Yum I love oreos, so this is right up my alley. It’s great that it’s no bake as well!
