- Pour the heavy whipping cream and vanilla into the cream cheese mixture and mix again until silky smooth.

- Sprinkle the rest of the crushed Oreos on top and decorate with the mini cookies.
- Wrap the pan with plastic wrap and freeze it. When the cheesecake is set, take it out of the freezer, remove the sides of the pan, and serve. Thaw for about 20 minutes for a creamier texture.
Storage Tips
Storing this cheesecake is a cinch, which makes it easy to have a sweet treat around whenever a craving strikes.
Refrigerate/Leftovers
Refrigerate the whole cheesecake for 3-4 days covered with plastic wrap. Or, for the best flavor and texture, wrap individual slices.
Freeze
If you’re looking for a longer storage option, try freezing the cheesecake. First, wrap slices in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or plastic bag. Or, wrap them again with aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Recipe FAQs
Yes! Because the cheesecake contains dairy, it needs to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer when it’s not being served.
The freezer is your best friend when it comes to making no-bake cheesecake. While some recipes call for refrigerating it to set, this one specifies to freeze it. However, if you’re using the refrigerator and it doesn’t set, just pop it in the freezer for a bit.
Using too much butter can result in a hard crust.
Variations + Additions
- Mini Oreos – If you can’t find mini Oreos, you can also break up regular-sized cookies or chop them with a sharp knife.
- Crust – Replace the Oreos in the crust with graham crackers, golden Oreos, or Biscoff cookies.
- Extract – For nutty flavor, use almond extract instead of vanilla extract.
- Topping – Spoon a few dollops of homemade whipped cream or Cool Whip on top. Or make a chocolate ganache to drizzle over top.
Tips For No-Bake Cheesecake Success
- Check on the cheesecake after 4 hours in the freezer — super cold freezers can make the cheesecake set more quickly.
- Use room-temperature cream cheese so that it’s easy to mix.
- Serve the cheesecake straight from the freezer or, for a creamier texture, allow it to thaw for about 20 minutes before serving.
- While you don’t need to spray the pan, you can line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Press the crust into the bottom of the springform pan with the bottom of a glass to create an even layer; avoid pressing too hard so that the crumbs don’t stick.
- To crush the cookies for the Oreo crust, place them in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Or, place the cookies in a resealable bag and roll over them with a rolling pin
No need to turn on the oven for this creamy, indulgent No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake—perfect for busy days when you need something sweet with minimal effort. It’s a crowd-pleaser that will disappear faster than you can say “cheesecake”!
