This No Bake Oreo Cheesecake is the ultimate cookies and cream dessert. With a crunchy Oreo crust and a creamy cheesecake filling, it’s so easy to make! You don’t even need to turn the oven on.
Hello Oreos 💜
Today we’re talking cheesecake. And Oreos. This gorgeous No Bake Oreo Cheesecake is literally filled to the brim with Oreo cookies.
It’s creamy, crunchy and oh-so-easy to make.
There’s no denying that I have a serious obsession with Oreos and Oreo desserts. Are you the same way?
I don’t know when it started but I do know that Oreos are my kryptonite. And this cheesecake 👇🏻 is NOT helping things.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that I shared my famous Chocolate Oreo Ice Cream Pie with you.
And now we’ve take all the goodness of Oreos and transformed them into a cheesecake. And you are going to flip when you find out just how easy this cheesecake is to make.
First things first, there’s NO gelatine. No siree.
I don’t like to use gelatine in my no bake cheesecakes because it alters the taste, makes an easy recipe somewhat complicated AND is simply not necessary.
I mean look, this cheesecake totally hold it’s shape, does it not?

So let’s talk flavour. This cheesecake is literally bursting with all things cookies and cream.
It starts with a buttery Oreo cookie crust, made with whole Oreos. Next, is a finger-lickin’ cheesecake filling made with cream cheese, thickened cream and a touch of sour cream (ALL the creams). And a boatload of chopped Oreos.
The final touch? Swirls of whipped cream, mini Oreo cookies and plenty of Oreo crumbs.
Tips for making the perfect no bake cheesecake
- Always use a springform tin so you can easily remove your cheesecake. Simply run a butter knife around the edge and then gently remove the cake rim when you’re ready to serve.
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so you can beat it well and get rid of any lumps.
- Don’t use a cream cheese substitute or low fat version, go full fat cream cheese and full fat sour cream for maximum flavour.
- Beat your cheesecake mixture well so the mixture becomes thick and your cream is whipped.
- Let your cheesecake set in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or overnight. This recipe doesn’t have any gelatine but if you beat the mixture well, the whipped cream will easily allow the cheesecake to hold it’s shape.

Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8-inch springform baking pan with butter and line the bottom with baking or parchment paper.

- Pour Oreo mixture into prepared tin and press down gently using the back of a spoon to form an even layer. Pop in fridge.
- Add cream cheese, sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixture until smooth and creamy. Add cream and beat for a few minutes or until mixture becomes thick and holds its shape. Add sour cream and mix until smooth.
- Gently fold through chopped Oreos. Pour cheesecake mixture on top of the Oreo cookie crust, smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Add whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe swirls of cream along the edges. Decorate with mini Oreo cookies and crushed Oreo cookie crumbs.
Notes
*Cream: You must use a high-fat cream that is suitable for whipping. Here in Australia, it’s called thickened cream. It is usually at least 35% fat and will say on the product that it is suitable for whipping. Do not use light, pouring or cooking cream or your cheesecake won’t set.

Turned out FABULOUS!.!. Tasted better than the store one.
Jessica Holmes says
YES! Love hearing that!
Anna says
I’d like to make this for new year. Is there anything I can use other than sour cream? As they don’t sell sour cream where I’m located.
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Anna, the next best thing would be a full fat Greek yogurt or natural yogurt. Otherwise, you can just leave it out. It’ll still be delicious!
Jess M says
I made for the first time this week. Worked perfectly! My first cheesecake.
Thank you 😊
Jessica Holmes says
Hooray! That’s wonderful to hear Jess!
Amanda says
I beat the mixture for ages and it wouldn’t hold it’s shape, i used ALDI thickened cream so it is 35%. I have added some melted white chocolate to try to compensate for the lack of holding power.
I hope it works.
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Amanda, I’m so sorry to hear that! I’ve tested this recipe with Woolworths thickened cream, Coles thickened cream and Bulla thickened cream and it works so well. You could try whipping the cream separated to stiff peaks next time before stirring it through just to make sure there’s nothing wrong with the cream.
Alison says
Made this 27 hours ago and had to put it back into the tin as it was still too soft that it wouldn’t hold its shape. Any reason why? Otherwise so tasty!
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Alison, sorry to hear that! It will all come down to the cream – either choosing a cream that’s not suitable for whipping or not whipping the mixture enough. I’m so glad you enjoyed the taste!!
Terry-Anne O'Brien says
How far ahead can i make it?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Terry-Anne, this one keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days or you could freeze it to make it ahead of time. Just decorate with fresh whipped cream and Oreos when you go to serve.
