How to Make This Delicious No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

You’ll love how easily this yummy dessert comes together. It’s our go-to Christmas Oreo cheesecake recipe for exactly that reason.

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Make the Oreo Cookie Crust

The crust is where that signature crunchy Oreo texture comes in! Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a ziplock bag and rolling pin.

Stir in melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan using the back of a spoon or a drinking glass to pack it tight.

Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes while you prepare the filling.

💡 Tip: Line the bottom with parchment paper if you want to easily transfer the whole cheesecake to a serving plate later.

2. Make the Creamy Cheesecake Filling

This no-bake cheesecake mixture is where the magic happen: rich, fluffy and full of cookie flavor.

In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment), beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Scrape the sides of the pan and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to make sure no lumps remain.

Add the vanilla extract and mix again.

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft or stiff peaks form. (Be careful not to incorporate too much air. You want a thick but fluffy texture.) Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Add the crushed Oreos and stir lightly.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake

Spoon the cheesecake batter onto the chilled crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

4. Decorate and Serve

When the cheesecake has set, remove it from the pan and place on a serving platter. Sprinkle the top with crushed Oreos, then add 3 whole Oreos on top.

For a festive Christmas Oreo cheesecake, add crushed candy canes or drizzle with chocolate ganache and top with holiday sprinkles.

Slice into individual slices, wipe your knife between cuts for clean edges, and serve chilled.

Oreo Cheesecake Recipe Tips & Variations

• Let the cheesecake cool completely before slicing (chill time is key!).
• Keep it simple or decorate with your favorite things, like crushed cookies, whipped cream, or melted chocolate.
• This recipe makes one 7–8-inch whole cheesecake, or you can double it for a larger pan.
• Serve on a wire rack or baking sheet for easy transport during holiday parties.
• Use full-fat cream cheese. It gives you that luscious cheesecake texture and rich flavor.
• Don’t rush the chill time. This step helps your cheesecake firm up properly.
• Try golden Oreos for a different texture or color variation.
• Add sour cream for a tangier, more bake cheesecake-style taste.
• Mini Oreo cheesecake: Divide the mixture into muffin liners for individual slices that kids can grab and go.
• Holiday twist: Top with crushed peppermint candies, green sprinkles, or white chocolate chips for a wintery look.
