Tips on Making A No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Oreo cheesecake recipes are popular because it combines two delectable ingredients in one yummy dessert! So what’s not to like? Although this is an easy no bake Oreo dessert recipe, we’d love to help you out with making it. Read below to get some useful tips in making this cookies and cream cheesecake.
- Wait for the cream cheese to come to room temperature. Using cold cream cheese is definitely not ideal because your Oreo filling will form lumps. However, if you mix the cheese at room temperature, you’ll get a much smoother texture.
- Use a springform pan to bake your cheesecake to make it much easier for you to remove the cake. Moreover, we recommend using a 9-inch springform pan for this no bake Oreo cheesecake.
- Cover the bottom of the pan with baking paper before shaping the Oreo pie crust. By doing so, the crust won’t stick to the pan which will make your cake easier to remove.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my no-bake cheesecake not firm?
Your cheesecake should set in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or overnight. This recipe doesn’t use gelatin or Jello but if you beat the mixture well, the filling will hold its shape. However, if you still want a firmer cheesecake after chilling it, you can also pop it into your freezer for a couple more hours to make sure it sets perfectly.
Can I freeze no-bake cheesecake to make it set faster?
Yes you can as an alternative to chilling it in the refrigerator. First, you should cover the surface of the cake with a cling wrap. This is because it prevents ice from crystallizing on top. Then, simply place it in the freezer for an hour. You can serve it right after.
