    No bake cheesecake

    No bake cheesecake recipe has a much lighter texture than baked cheesecake recipe, which is rather dense and creamy. But both versions have one thing in common, they are made with cream cheese.

    It is a slightly salty, cream cheese with a mildly acidic taste, the same one that is used to make the famous cream cheese frosting found in the cinnamon rolls recipe as a topping or to fill the carrot cake recipe.

    What makes the texture of a baked cheesecake firm is the addition of egg which helps firm up. To achieve a stiff consistency, some recipes contain gelatin to help firm up the texture.

    Here it is the combination of cream cheese and whipped cream that will create a stable base for this cheesecake recipe. That's why it's important to use the right amount of ingredients and not to use low-fat ingredients.

    Equipment: To make this cheesecake recipe you will need a food processor for cookie crust, an electric mixer, a soft spatula and a springform pan.

    What you need for this recipe

    Oreo crust

    • Oreo cookies: For the crispy base use the classic oreos cookies and you can even replace them with other cookies, like chocolate chip cookies or speculoos.
    • Butter: Use unsalted, melted butter.

    Cheesecake filling

    • Cream cheese: The best known brand for cheesecake is Philadelphia, take the full fat and not the light version. Take the cream cheese out in advance so that it is at room temperature and the mixture is well blended.
    • Powdered Sugar: A white powdered sugar do not use flavored sugar.
    • Vanilla extract: Pure liquid vanilla extract or the seeds of a vanilla bean.
    • Heavy cream: You can use heavy cream or heavy whipping cream as long as you have a minimum of 30% fat. And it must also be cold for this recipe.

    Try this recipe for triple chocolate cheesecake, which is also made with an Oreos cookie base.

    3 tips for a perfect crust

    1. The cookies need to be ground into a very fine meal to make a nice, even, smooth layer.
    2. Mix the butter and the cookies well so that they are well impregnated, the butter will moisten the cookies which will help to rebuild a cookie base.
    3. Press the mixture well into the bottom of the springform pan, I advise you to use the bottom of a glass to firmly compact the mixture.
