OREO CHEESECAKE INGREDIENTS
Turns out you don’t need many ingredients for this no bake oreo cheesecake recipe. I opted to keep things simple with a list of ingredients that are mostly pantry staple items. Here’s what you need to get started.
- Oreo Cookies: I wanted that classic cookies and cream flavor so I stuck with the original chocolate flavor. However, you can opt for any variety.
- Butter: Just a smidge to form the crust.
- Gelatin: The one odd item on the list. Unflavored gelatin adds a nice consistency to the filling and helps it to firm up.
- Water: Just enough to stir with the gelatin to help activate it.
- Cream Cheese: It wouldn’t be cheesecake without the cream cheese. This is the one ingredient I say you should splurge on. Philadelphia makes the best cream cheese for a cheesecake.
- Sugar and Milk
- Cool Whip: Can you use whipped cream? Yes, but the texture will be slightly different as well as the flavor. This recipe also will not set properly if you use sugar free cool whip.
HOW TO MAKE NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE
- PREP: Gather the ingredients. Add paper liners to a muffin tray and mist generously with baking spray. Set aside.
- CRUST: Combine the cookie crumbs and butter. Add 1 tablespoon to the bottom of each prepared liner and gently press down.
- GELATIN: Combine the gelatin and water in a small saucepan OFF of the heat. Let it sit until you see it start to form into a thicker mixture. Turn on the heat and allow it to dissolve, this takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
- FILLING: Whip together the cream cheese and sugar until it is fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the milk, vanilla, and gelatin mixture. Once fully incorporated, scrape the sides and fold in the cool whip.
- CHILL: Divide the batter evenly between the 24 muffin tins, filling to the top. Chill until set.
HELPFUL TOOLS
- Muffin Tins: Because this recipe needs a little chill time, I prefer to use my muffin tins with lids (affiliate). It makes it super easy to pop them into the fridge and not worry about something falling onto the pan.
- Silicone Liners: Taking these out of paper liners can be messy. Opt for silicone cupcake liners (affiliate) instead of paper! Bonus? They are reusable so you can use them over and over.
- Whisk: You can use a stand mixer for this recipe. However, it’s super easy just to mix by hand. I use my silicone whisk (affiliate), which makes it easy to scrape the sides of the bowl.
OREO CHEESECAKE RECIPE TIPS
Absolutely! Make this recipe by using a 9 inch springform pan (affiliate). This will make a large cheesecake that is perfect as the centerpiece for birthdays or parties.
You can use whipped cream in place of cool whip. However, that will cause the texture to be slightly less stiff and a lighter flavor.
These cheesecake bites need to be stored covered in the refrigerator. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and cookie pieces for a beautiful presentation.
YES! In fact, we love them in the freezer. This easy oreo cheesecake turns into a sort of ice cream sandwich that is perfect for pool days.
