How To Make No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Because this no-bake cheesecake is so easy to make, it requires minimal ingredients. Hereโs what you will be using to make the crust and the filling:
- Oreo Crumbs– You can buy oreo crumbs, or you can use 45 oreo cookies and put them into a food processor to make your own crumbs.
- Butter– Melt your butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals.
- Cream cheese– Leave the cream cheese on the counter at room temperature for 30-minutes to soften.
- Sour cream– You want the sour cream to be room temperature as well, not cold.
- Sugar– You will need regular white sugar. Be sure to pack it in the measuring cup.
- Heavy cream– This is what makes a creamy no bake filling. Be sure it is cold before whipping. You must use heavy cream in this recipe. Milk will thin the cheesecakes and they will not set properly.
- Vanilla– For the best flavor, you will want to use pure vanilla extract.
- Salt– Use kosher salt for this recipe.
First, gather and measure all your ingredients. If you are using Oreos, process them into crumbs, and then follow the steps below.
- First, line a standard muffin tin with foil wrappers. Set it to the side.
- Next, combine your oreo crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl and mix until it is the texture of wet sand.
- Divide the crust evenly between the muffin tins, and push it down to evenly coat the bottom.
- Once the crust is packed into the muffin tin, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar together for about 3-minutes.
- Turn your mixer on low and add the vanilla extract and salt. Beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream using a wire whisk until stiff peaks form. If using a wire whisk attachment, beat for 2-minutes on high speed.
- Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold it in to combine.
- Finally, divide your cream cheese filling between the muffin tins.
- Place your mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4-hours before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks to Perfect Oreo Cheesecake
- The bottom of a shot class works perfectly to pack the crust tightly into the muffin pan.
- You want the cream cheese mixture to be light and fluffy when you are done beating it.
- I use a ยผ cup cookie scoop to ensure I put an equal amount of cream cheese filling into each muffin compartment.
- I recommend letting your cheesecake sit in the refrigerator overnight for best results.
- For a smoother, finer crust, remove the filling from the Oreos before turning them into crumbs.
- The cream cheese and sour cream must be at room temperature for them to incorporate smoothly. If you forget to set them out, you can microwave them for 10-15 seconds but make sure not to overheat them. You want them just barely warm, not hot.
- If desired, top with whipped cream or crushed Oreos.
