Welcome to a delightful and easy-to-make dessert with rich flavors and a creamy texture: No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake! This recipe combines the classic taste of Oreos with a smooth cheesecake filling, making it a perfect treat for any occasion. With no need to worry about turning on the oven, it's a simple yet indulgent dessert that anyone can whip up.
Instructions:
- Take roughly 16 Oreo cookies and finely crush them. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin or by processing them in a food processor.
- Melt the butter either in the microwave or over a stove.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- Dissolve the gelatin powder in 2 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it blooms.
- Heat the gelatin mixture gently in the microwave or over a double boiler until it becomes liquid. Set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour in the gelatin mixture while continuing to beat the cream cheese mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Roughly chop the remaining 8 Oreo cookies.
- Gently fold the chopped Oreo pieces into the filling mixture.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan and spread it out evenly.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set.
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream until it just starts to boil. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute to melt.
- Stir the mixture until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before using.
- Once the cheesecake has set, remove it from the refrigerator.
- Pour and spread the chocolate ganache over the top of the cheesecake.
- Garnish with additional Oreo cookies or whipped cream if desired.
- Carefully remove the springform pan and slice the cheesecake to serve.
Tips:
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth and lump-free filling.
- Use a food processor to crush the Oreos into fine crumbs for the crust.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly for a firm and sliceable consistency.
- To make the cheesecake even more indulgent, you can fold in some extra crushed Oreos into the filling.
- For a cleaner cut, use a knife dipped in hot water to slice the cheesecake and wipe the knife clean between each cut.
