A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring a creamy cheesecake filling with Oreo cookie crust, perfect for busy days and last-minute treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 whole Oreo cookies, crushed finely
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • Optional: substitutions – full-fat coconut cream for heavy cream (dairy-free), almond flour for crushed Oreos (gluten-free)

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form (about 1 ½ cups). Alternatively, crush in a sealed bag with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix crushed Oreos with 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until crumbs are fully coated and hold together when pressed.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (3-4 minutes). Add espresso powder if using.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to soft peaks (3-5 minutes).
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three additions, keeping the mixture airy.
  7. Fold in 10 crushed Oreos (coarsely chopped) for extra texture.
  8. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly.
  9. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Cut into 12 bars with a sharp knife, dipping the knife in hot water and wiping dry between cuts for cleaner slices.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for smooth blending. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Use gentle folding to keep mixture airy. Press crust firmly to hold bars together. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best set and sliceability. Dip knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts for clean slices.
