Oreo Cheesecake (3 Ingredients)
This Oreo cheesecake is a simple no-bake dessert made with crushed Oreo biscuits, melted butter, whipped cream, and cream cheese. It has a dark chocolate cookie base and topping, with a soft creamy center that makes each bite rich, smooth, and slightly crunchy.
The appeal of an Oreo cheesecake is in its contrast: dark cookie crumbs, pale cream filling, and a texture that feels both rich and effortless.
What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to assemble. The Oreos create both the crust and the crumb topping, while the cream cheese and whipped cream form a light, mousse-like filling without needing gelatine or baking.

The Ingredients That Make This Cheesecake So Good
- Oreo biscuits: Create the chocolate cookie base, topping, and classic Oreo flavor.
- Melted butter: Helps bind the cookie crumbs so the base holds together.
- Whipping cream: Makes the filling light, airy, and smooth.
- Cream cheese: Adds creaminess and gives the filling its cheesecake flavor.
Helpful Tips Before You Start
- Crush the Oreo biscuits finely for a smoother, firmer base.
- Save some crushed biscuits for the top layer.
- Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing it with the crumbs.
- Use cold whipping cream so it whips properly.
- Soften the cream cheese slightly before mixing for a smoother filling.
- Chill the cheesecake well before slicing so the layers hold together.
- Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices for a neater cut.
The Best Way to Store Oreo Cheesecake
Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Because it contains cream cheese and whipped cream, it should stay chilled until serving.
For a firmer texture, serve it straight from the fridge. For a softer, creamier bite, let it sit at room temperature for about 5–10 minutes before serving.
