This recipe for no-bake chocolate Oreo cheesecake makes a decadent, tempting chocolate cheesecake that’s loaded with Oreo goodness!

The Easiest, Most Indulgent No-Bake Cheesecake You Will Ever Make!

Don’t you just love making something simple that looks like you’ve made a big effort? Then this recipe is for you! No one will believe you didn’t slave over this cheesecake all day!

The best thing about this cheesecake (apart from being easy to make).  It’s a mix of flavor and texture that will tickle your taste buds.

Why This Recipe Works:

  • The Oreos make a wonderful, thick, buttery crust.
  • There’s no need for gelatin in the filling because the chocolate helps to stabilize it.
  • Using dark chocolate in the filling keeps the cheesecake from tasting too sweet.

What Is No-Bake Cheesecake

No-Bake cheesecake is a cheesecake that keeps its structure without the need to bake. In this case, the melted chocolate helps it set as it chills.

How to make No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

Put the Oreos into a food processor

How to Remove a No-Bake Cheesecake From a Springform Pan

The easiest way to remove a no-bake cheesecake from a springform pan is to heat the outside of the pan before removing it.  I do this with a hairdryer.  Just run it over the sides until the condensation has dried and no frost appears.

For more information on this, check out the end of this video on YouTube.

Tips for the Perfect No-Bake Cheesecake:

  • Use Full Fat Cream Cheese.  Low fat or nonfat cream cheese may become runny when beat and may not set.
  • For a crispier base, bake the base for 5- 7 minutes on 400F.  Once baked, you should chill the crust in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before filling.
  • Use bittersweet or dark chocolate to avoid an overly sweet filling.  See the FAQ section for my recommendation.
  • Don’t over mix. This can result in a super-soft cheesecake. Make sure you use room-temperature cream cheese and mix at a lower speed to avoid breaking the emulsion created by the cream cheese.
  • To keep the Oreos crunchy, add them to the top just before serving.  They soften in the fridge as the cheesecake sets, but it’s still just as delicious so it’s your call.
  • To easily remove a no-bake cheesecake from a springform pan, just heat the outside of the pan before removing.  I do this with a hairdryer.  Just run it over the sides until the condensation has dried and no frost appears.

Can you set a no-bake cheesecake in the freezer?

You can set a no-bake cheesecake in the freezer by covering with plastic wrap and placing it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to set.

Can You Freeze A No-Bake Cheesecake?

To freeze a no-bake cheesecake, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours.  To thaw before serving, place in the fridge overnight.

How long will a no-bake cheesecake last in the refrigerator?

A no-bake cheesecake will last chilled in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Please note – The Oreos on this cheesecake to soften.  If you like them crunchy, add them just before serving.

Which Chocolate is Best for No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake?

 Couverture Dark Chocolate Callets (54.5  Cacao) is best. You can get them on Amazon by clicking here .  (#paidlink). It’s my favorite chocolate to use for desserts.

Variations:

  • Try adding a pinch of sea salt flakes to the filling.  This really brings out the chocolate flavor and cuts down on the sweetness.
  • Choose a different flavor of Oreo for the crust like Mint or Chocolate Creme.

Prep Time: 20 minutes mins
Melting Time: 5 minutes mins
Total Time: 20 minutes mins
Serves 12 slices

Ingredients

For the base:
  • 1¾ cups Oreos (crushed, about 20)
  • 6 tablespoons butter (melted)
For the filling:
  • 6 ounces dark or bittersweet chocolate (chopped small)
  • 24 oz cream cheese ((three 8oz packages))
  • ¾ cup superfine sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water)
  • ½ cup freshly whipped cream
For the topping:
  • 15 Oreo cookies (broken)

Instructions

  • Blend the cookies in a food processor until cookie crumbs are formed. Add the melted butter and mix until combined.
  • Add the cookie mixture to a 9-inch spring-form pan. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan to make an even base, and put into the freezer while you make the filling.
  • Melt the chocolate either in a microwave or double boiler, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, whipped cream, superfine sugar, and cocoa powder mixture.  Then add the melted chocolate, and mix until the mixture is smooth.
  • Take the springform pan out of the freezer and pour in the cheesecake filling.
  • Top the cake with the rest of the broken Oreos. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours (or refrigerate overnight) to set.

Tips

  • Use Full Fat Cream Cheese.  Low fat or nonfat cream cheese may become runny when beat and may not set.
  • For a crispier base, bake the base for 5- 7 minutes on 400F.  Once baked, you should chill the crust in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before filling.
  • Don’t over mix. This can result in a super-soft cheesecake. Make sure you use room-temperature cream cheese and mix on a lower speed to avoid breaking the emulsion created by the cream cheese.
  • To easily remove the chilled cake from the spring-form pan after it’s been in the freezer, use a hairdryer on its hot setting and run it all along the pan until the frost is gone.
  • To keep the Oreos crunchy, add them to the top just before serving.  They soften in the fridge as the cheesecake sets, but it’s still just as delicious so it’s your call.
  • To easily remove a no-bake cheesecake from a springform pan, just heat the outside of the pan before removing.  I do this with a hairdryer.  Just run it over the sides until the condensation has dried and no frost appears.

    Can I use powdered sugar instead of superfine sugar?

      Yes, you can use powdered sugar instead of superfine sugar for this cheesecake filling, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

      -Powdered sugar often contains a small amount of cornstarch to prevent clumping, which can affect the texture of your filling slightly. To avoid this, use ¾ cup of powdered sugar, but consider sifting it first to remove any lumps.
      -Powdered sugar dissolves easily and can work well in no-bake cheesecake fillings. However, superfine sugar creates a smoother, slightly denser texture, so the filling may be a little softer with powdered sugar.
      -Powdered sugar is often a bit sweeter than superfine sugar, so if you want to keep the sweetness level exactly the same, reduce the powdered sugar by about 1 tablespoon.

      I hope that helps!!

    I’m unclear about the addition of the cream. Does it need to be whipped before it is added to the food processor with the rest of the ingredients? Seems the food processor would knock out any of the airiness the prior whipping provided…

      Great question! The cream mentioned in the recipe should be freshly whipped before. You are absolutely correct that using a food processor would remove any airiness from the cream, so it’s important to whip it separately. This whipped cream will contribute to the light and fluffy texture of the cheesecake filling. Once you’ve whipped the cream, you can gently fold it into the cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa mixture to maintain that airy quality in the filling. It’s a crucial step for achieving the desired texture and consistency of the cheesecake. Enjoy!

    This was sinfully delicious…bet you can’t eat just one (piece)!!
    The time stated is misleading since the refrigeration time is an additional four hours…do not expect this to be ready to eat in 20 minutes.

        Would I need to change anything if I wanted to make them in a muffin pan to make mini cheesecakes?
