How to Prepare No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
- Step 1: Prepare the Crust. Begin by making your Oreo crust. If you're using store-bought, simply follow the package instructions. For a homemade crust, crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Step 2: Make the Filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese) with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative), sugar (or erythritol), cornstarch (or protein powder), and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined and there are no lumps.
- Step 3: Add the Oreo Cookies. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, reserving a few for garnish. This will give the filling a delightful cookie crunch that complements the smooth creaminess.
- Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Step 5: Chill. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
- Step 6: Serve. Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with the reserved crushed Oreo cookies and slice into wedges to serve. Enjoy your delicious No Bake Oreo Cheesecake!
Notes
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
- If you prefer a sweeter cheesecake, feel free to adjust the sugar or erythritol to taste.
- For a chocolatey twist, consider adding cocoa powder to the filling.
- This cheesecake can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free cookies for the crust.
