A rich and creamy no-bake Oreo cheesecake with a silky chocolate ganache drip, perfect for an easy and impressive dessert without the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo Cookies, divided (18 crushed for crust, 6 chopped for filling)
  • 5 tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate Ganache:
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 4 ounces (115g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon light corn syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Place 18 Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Combine crushed Oreos with melted butter until crumbs hold together when pressed.
  2. Press the crust: Transfer crust mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Press evenly into bottom and slightly up sides. Chill in fridge for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Fold the whipped cream: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep airiness.
  6. Add chopped Oreos: Fold in roughly chopped Oreos, reserving some for garnish if desired.
  7. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour filling over chilled crust and spread evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Prepare the ganache drip: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in corn syrup if using.
  9. Decorate the cheesecake: Remove cheesecake from fridge. Slowly pour ganache over top, letting it drip down sides. Spread with spatula if needed. Chill 15-20 minutes to set ganache.
  10. Serve: Release cheesecake from springform pan carefully. Garnish with reserved Oreo pieces or whipped cream. Slice with a warm knife for clean slices.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Whip cream to stiff peaks but do not overwhip. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Press crust firmly and chill well before adding filling. Pour ganache when slightly warm for best drip effect. Warm ganache gently if it thickens before pouring. Use a warm knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
