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.

How to make no-bake Oreo cheesecake recipe

Oreo crust

1. Blend Oreo cookies in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and beat them with a rolling pin to make a very fine meal.
2. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a saucepan until you have a melted butter.
3. Then place the mixed oreo cookies in a medium bowl and pour the melted butter over them.
4. Mix with a tablespoon until the mixture is smooth and that the cookies are well impregnated with melted butter.
5. Then pour the oreo crust mixture into a pastry circle or a springform pan lined with parchment paper.
6. Press with the back of a tablespoon or the bottom of a glass until you have a thin layer of Oreo cookies crust.
7. Place the springform with the cookies crust in the refrigerator while preparing the Oreo cheesecake batter.

Tip: You can also bring the cookie crust up to the edges for a crisper no-bake Oreo cheesecake.

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.

Oreo cream cheese filling

• Place room temperature cream cheese sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
• Mix with an hand mixer for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with an hand mixer until stiff.
• Prepare the cookie chunks by crushing them in a plastic bag until they are small but not too big.
• Add whipped cream and crushed cookies to the cream cheese sugar mixture, gently folding in with a flexible spatula until smooth.

Tip: Be sure to fold in the whipped cream and crushed cookies with a spatula to prevent the cream from dropping and to maintain a smooth mousse-like texture.

• Pour the cheesecake mixture into the springform pan or pastry circle over the reconstituted cookie crust and smooth the top with an angled spatula.
• Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight oreo cheesecake in the refrigerator.

Tip: You can place the no bake cheesecake in the freezer to reduce the resting time by 2.

Vanilla mascarpone whipped topping

1. Place the cold heavy cream with the cold mascarpone, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
2. With an electric mixer beat on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until stiff.
3. Decorate the no-bake Oreo cheesecake with vanilla mascarpone whipped cream using a piping bag and a decorating tip.
4. Sprinkle a few crushed cookies over the cake and enjoy!

Replace the vanilla whipped topping recipe with chocolate mascarpone whipped cream to decorate your Oreo cheesecake.
