A full printable recipe and the measurements in both US customary and metric are available in the recipe card below.

For the cheesecake crust

Place your Oreos in a food processor and blitz them until they resemble fine crumbs.

Add the crumbs to a mixing bowl, add melted butter, and mix until fully combined and the crumbs are moist.

Tip the crumb mixture into a pan and press down until it forms an even compacted crust.

Next, place the crumbs in a prepared springform pan and press down on them with the back of a spoon until they are an even compacted base.

Place the pan in the fridge to chill.

For the cheesecake filling

First, roughly crush your Oreos and set them aside.

Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or an electric handheld mixer, add the room-temperature cream cheese to a large bowl and beat it until it’s smooth.

Next, add in the vanilla and powdered sugar (icing sugar) and mix until it is fully combined and thickened.

Add heavy whipping cream in a different mixing bowl, and start to mix, first slowly and increasing the speed until the mixture has formed stiff peaks.

Place the mixture evenly on top of the Oreo crust, smooth the top, and leave to chill.

Now, add the whipped cream to the cheese mixture and fold it in gently.

Next, fold in the crushed Oreos and white chocolate chips.

Place the cream cheese mixture onto the chilled Oreo crust and flatten it so it becomes an even layer (an angled palette knife helps with this).

Place the Oreo cheesecake in the fridge and refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours, but preferably overnight.

It’s important to chill for at least 5 hours or your cheesecake will fall apart.

Optional cheesecake topping

We recommend decorating your cheesecake after it has set.

If you choose to decorate your Oreo cheesecake, you can crush up Oreos and scatter them over the top, use Oreo thins to sink into the top, or even swirl whipped cream.

Serve your delicious cheesecake, and enjoy!

Is it difficult to make a no-bake Oreo cheesecake?

No, not at all.

Making the crust is simply crushing Oreos, mixing them with melted butter, and packing them into a springform tin.

For the cheesecake filling, you must beat cream cheese and add powdered sugar and vanilla.

You then simply mix heavy whipping cream, add in crushed Oreos and white chelate chips, fold it into the cream cheese mixture, and then place it onto the Oreo crust.

Place it in the fridge and chill. Simple huh?

How long does a no-bake Oreo cheesecake take to set?

No-bake cheesecakes do need time to set, so giving them enough time is important, or you’ll have a runny consistency that won’t hold together.

We always recommend a minimum of 5 hours in the fridge, but what’s even better is making it the night before and leaving it to set while you sleep.

Do I blitz the whole Oreo, or do I remove the cream filling?

You blitz the whole Oreo; there’s no need to fiddle around removing the cream filling.

This means your no-bake cheesecake is bursting with Oreo flavor!

Can I use light cream cheese?

No, sadly not.

Reduced-fat cream cheese will not set properly, and it’ll become a sloppy mess.

What equipment do I need to make this cheesecake?

To make our no-bake Oreo cheesecake recipe, you’ll need a food processor, either a stand mixer or an electric handheld mixer, a mixing bowl, and a 9-inch springform pan.

An angled palette knife is also super helpful.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a food processor or stand mixer; you’ll see in our notes that there are still ways to make your Oreo cheesecake without them.

How do I soften cream cheese?

All you need to do is to leave your cream cheese at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes.

Don’t forget; you need regular cream cheesecake for a no-bake cheesecake, do not use low-fat cheese.

Why won’t my no-bake cheesecake filling set properly?

When a no-bake cheesecake doesn’t set properly, it’s usually because of one of two reasons.

Firstly, you’ve used Philadelphia cream cheese light (or reduced fat).

If you use light cream cheese, then it just won’t set, so make sure you choose regular cream cheese.

Secondly, it may be because you didn’t leave it to set for long enough.

These tasty beauties need a minimum of 5 hours and if possible, overnight to set.

It’s worth quickly making your cheesecake the night before and giving it extra time.

It’ll only take you 25 minutes, and it’s well worth it.

How do I store it?

Your no-bake Oreo cheesecake will be kept for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Freeze it for up to 3 months but make sure you wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Don’t have a food processor?
    The reason you have a food processor is to break up the Oreos; you can place them in a sandwich bag and bash them with a rolling pin until you get the right consistency.
  • Cream cheese
    You need to use softened cream cheese and make sure it’s regular cream cheese.
  • Get creative
    We’ve decorated our cheesecake so even a novice can achieve it; you could have an elaborate whipped topping (fresh whipped cream) design.
  • Sweetened condensed milk
    People have asked about using sweetened condensed milk; we haven’t tried it ourselves, but please let us know how you get on with it if you try!
  • Missing a stand mixer?
    Just use a handheld electric mixer instead.
  • Using cool whip
    Some readers have substituted whipping cream with cool whip for the whipped topping decoration; they’ve said it works well, but we can’t confirm as we’ve not tried cool whip.
  • Cut corners
    If you’re in a real hurry, then you can use a store-bought Oreo crust, but making it really doesn’t take long, so we recommend homemade for the best possible no-bake Oreo cheesecake.
