A quick and delicious no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo crust and a light, creamy cheesecake filling. Perfect for busy days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (including filling)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Optional: additional crushed Oreos for topping

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place 24 Oreos (including filling) into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin until evenly crushed (about 5 minutes).
  2. Make the crust: Transfer Oreo crumbs to a medium bowl. Add melted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
  3. Prepare the filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  5. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture gently using a rubber spatula to keep filling light and airy.
  6. Assemble the bars: Spread filling evenly over chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top and sprinkle with extra crushed Oreos if desired.
  7. Chill to set: Refrigerate bars for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
  8. Serve: Cut into 12 squares. For easier slicing, dip knife in hot water and wipe dry before cutting.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling light. Chill bars at least 3 hours or overnight for best texture. If bars are too soft after chilling, freeze for 15 minutes to firm up. Use gluten-free Oreo alternatives for gluten-free version. Coconut cream can replace heavy cream for dairy-free option but texture will differ.
