INGREDIENT NOTES
These are some of the key ingredients for this recipe. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.
- Oreos: The Oreos are blended whole for the crust and for the filling they roughly crushed. It's decorated with mini Oreos but they can also be decorated with halved normal sized Oreos.
- Cream cheese: It's important that it's full-fat cream cheese. Use it straight out of the fridge.
- Heavy cream: The heavy cream is used multiple places in the recipe. It is used for the ganache, whipped cream decoration and cheesecake filling. Once the heavy cream is addd to the cheesecake filling it is whipped up to a stiff peak but be careful not to whip it into butter. It'll take about 1-3 minutes on medium/high speed.
- Vanilla paste: I recommend using pure vanilla paste for the best flavor.
- Dark chocolate: The dark chocolate is used to make the ganache. I recommend using a semi-sweet dark chocolate.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS - CRUST AND FILLING
Here is how to make this no-bake Oreo Cheesecake. This recipe needs a stand mixer or electric mixer.
The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.
Start by lightly greasing a 23 cm / 9-inch springform pan and lined with parchment paper in the bottom and around the sides.
STEP 1: To make the Oreo crust, in a food processor, blend the whole Oreo cookies until a fine crumbs. Melt the butter. Add the melted butter to the food processor and blend it together with the blended cookies.
STEP 2: Add the cookie crumbs and press the cookie crust down with the bottom of a glass, and up against the side of the pan, so it’s well packed together and flattened out. Place it in the fridge while preparing the cheesecake filling.
STEP 3: For the filling, with a hand mixer using a large bowl or in a stand mix using the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla paste. Then add the heavy cream and whisk it until it can hold a stiff peak.
STEP 4: Add crushed Oreos to the cheesecake mixture and with a rubber spatula gently fold them in. Add the cheesecake filling into the spring pan and with an off-set spatula even it out. Cover the spring pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours to chill.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS - DECORATION
STEP 1: Start by making the ganache. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave or over a double boiler. Once melted add the cold heavy cream and with a rubber spatula gently stir it together until smooth.
STEP 2: Move the cheesecake to a serving dish and pour the ganache over the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 20 minutes for the ganache to set.
STEP 3: Meanwhile, whip together heavy cream until it holds a stiff peak and transfer it to a piping bag with a large star piping tip. Take the cheesecake out of the fridge and pip a border around the edge of the cheesecake in a swirl motion and decorate with mini Oreos or regular Oreos cut in half.
EXPERT BAKING TIPS
- Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
- Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper in the bottom. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.
