Description
A rich and creamy no-bake Oreo chocolate cheesecake with a buttery cookie crust, smooth cookies-and-cream filling, and a silky dark chocolate ganache topping.
Ingredients
250g Oreo cookies, crushed
120g melted butter
500g cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
10–12 Oreo cookies, crushed or chopped
10g gelatin
3 tbsp water
200g dark chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
Whole Oreo cookies
Optional whipped cream
Optional chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Crush the Oreo cookies finely, including the cream filling, and mix with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Bloom the gelatin in water for 5 minutes, then heat gently until fully dissolved.
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Slowly add the dissolved gelatin and mix well.
- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, then pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Heat the remaining heavy cream until just hot, then pour it over the chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly, then pour it over the cheesecake and spread evenly.
- Decorate with whole Oreo cookies, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for a sweeter ganache.
Add a layer of crushed Oreos between crust and filling for extra crunch.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze slices for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the fridge.
Dip a knife in warm water and wipe clean between slices for neat cuts.
