No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake
If I had to pick only one dessert to eat for the rest of my life, it is definitely Oreo Cheesecake – HANDS DOWN, NO FIGHT.
Oreos are my favourite biscuits. I suspect that the reason why I find them so intriguing is because I am actually addicted to them. Apparently, there was a study on the effects of eating Oreos which concluded that Oreos are equally addictive as cocaine. Should I go into rehab for that? No. Because if you think about it…. my extreme love for Oreos, and Oreos only, actually ensures that I can never be addicted to any other drugs! #logic
This recipe has got to be one of the easiest thus far. Not only does it contain only a handful of ingredients, it is also super easy to prep. Pretty dangerous for someone who gets really strong food cravings tbh… I literally woke up yesterday morning and wished that I had a slice of Oreo Cheesecake, and 3 hours later, I had a whole cake to myself.
Guilty? No, just happy. Very happy actually. 🙂
No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Ingredients
Bottom Crust
- 150 g Oreos (with cream)
- 40 g Unsalted Butter , melted
Cheesecake
- 240 ml Double Cream , cold
- 240 g Cream Cheese , softened but not quite room temperature
- 60 g Caster Sugar
- 115 g Oreos (with cream)
Topping (optional)
- 100 ml Double Cream , cold
- 30 g Oreos (cream layer removed)
Instructions
Bottom Crust
- Using a food processor, or the classic rolling pin and a sealed bag, crush the oreos until they are quite finely grounded.
- In a bowl, add the crushed oreos and melted butter in. Mix them until the mixture comes together. Press firmly into a 7-inch springform pan. Leave in the fridge to set as you prepare the cheesecake layer.
Cheesecake
- Again with the food processor, or the rolling pin + sealed bag duo, crush the oreos but less finely this time. I like to split 95g into broken oreo bits, and 20g into finely grounded.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the double cream and sugar just until you get stiff peaks. * Add the softened cream cheese and whisk to incorporate. Add the Oreos and fold into the cheesecake mixture.
- Spread the mixture onto the previously prepared crust and chill for at least 2 hours before adding the toppings or serving.
Topping (optional)
- Using a food processor, finely ground the oreos (without cream). Spread the grounded oreos onto the cheesecake evenly.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk the double cream just until you get stiff peaks. Add the whipped cream into a piping bag with decorative nozzle. Pipe the whipped cream onto the cheesecake to make any final decorations.
