Instructions
Creating the No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake is a simple and rewarding process. Follow these steps to ensure your cheesecake turns out perfectly:
1. Make the Crust:
- Crush the Oreos: Place 24 Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you achieve a fine crumb texture.
- Combine with Butter: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until well combined.
- Form the Crust: Press the Oreo mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Ensure it’s firmly packed. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Don’t forget to mix in the reserved Oreo filling for added flavor.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Combine and Fold: Gently fold in 2 cups of the whipped cream and 15 crushed Oreos into the cream cheese mixture. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed without deflating the whipped cream.
3. Assemble:
- Pour the Filling: Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top, ensuring an even layer.
- Refrigerate: Allow the cheesecake to set in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to achieve a firm texture.
4. Serve:
- Add Toppings: Before serving, top the cheesecake with the remaining whipped cream, a sprinkle of crushed Oreos, and a generous drizzle of chocolate sauce.
- Slice and Enjoy: Use a sharp knife to slice the cheesecake and serve immediately.
