A rich and creamy no-bake Oreo cheesecake topped with a luscious chocolate ganache, perfect for quick and effortless indulgence without using the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (classic with cream filling)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 10 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
  • 6 ounces (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the texture feels like wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Compact well and chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the cheesecake filling: Beat 16 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until combined. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula.
  3. Add Oreo chunks: Chop 10 Oreo cookies coarsely and fold them gently into the filling mixture.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the filling onto the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Make the chocolate ganache: Heat ½ cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter if using. Allow ganache to cool slightly.
  6. Finish and chill: Pour the ganache evenly over the set cheesecake and spread gently. Return to the fridge for another hour to let the ganache firm up.
  7. Serve: Release the cheesecake from the springform pan carefully, slice with a warm sharp knife, and enjoy.

Notes

Patience during chilling is key for a firm slice. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling airy. Let ganache sit before stirring for smooth texture. Warm knife before slicing for clean cuts.
