No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
No Bake Oreo Cheesecake combines pretty much all your favorite things in one place. Easy, a total crowd pleaser, and hello – Oreos!
You guys know that I have a pretty serious thing for cheesecake – especially when it requires minimal prep work and zero baking time. Add in an Oreo crust and I’ll fall hook, line and sinker every single time. No Bake Oreo Cheesecake comes together in no time flat. It’s fluffy, creamy and will undoubtedly become one of your go-to desserts for summer entertaining.
I have a ridiculously long list of recipes that I want to create and share here on My Baking Addiction and this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake has been at the top of that list for months. However, I’m just getting around to sharing it with you because every single time I make it, it ends up disappearing before I get around to photographing it. Yes, it is that good.
So good that my non-dessert loving husband ate almost an entire cheesecake by himself in less than one day. Okay, okay, I may have helped just a little bit. Maybe.
If you read MBA on a regular basis, you’ve heard me whining about the state of our yard/mud pit. While I’ve come to grips with the fact that we can’t plant grass until fall, we’re most definitely going to entertain this summer. Even if entertaining means that we have to set up our patio set on the driveway.
I’m nothing if not adaptable, right? Well, actually, having things out of order makes my eye twitch, but I’m willing to let go of a little control if it means we’re outside enjoying the sunshine. I think. Just hand me a heaping spoonful of No Bake Oreo Cheesecake and I’ll be fine, I promise.
I love having a simple, summer desserts in my recipe arsenal that come together in under fifteen minutes and leave people beggin’ for more. It makes me feel like I’ve won some sort of dessert triathlon. Not that I’m actually running, swimming or biking anywhere, but you get what I’m saying. Let’s all win this dessert triathlon together.
No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Yield: 9 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Oreo Crust:
- 25 regular Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs (I used a food processor)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cheesecake:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip or TruWhip), thawed according to package directions
For the Topping:
- 21 ounce can of cherry pie filling
Directions:
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil, leaving about 1 inch of the foil extending over the edges of the pan. The extra foil will create handles that you can use to lift the No Bake Oreo Cheesecake from the pan.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Add crumb mixture into the bottom of prepared pan and press into an even layer.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese for about 2 minutes. Gradually add in confectioners' sugar and continue beating until smooth. Beat in vanilla until combined. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the whipped topping until completely incorporated.
- Spoon filling onto crust and spread into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- When you are ready to serve, remove cheesecake from pan using the foil overhang and cut into squares. Before serving, top with cherry pie filling.
Notes:
- No Bake Oreo Cheesecake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
WOW! How did you get those cherries to stay perfectly on the cheesecake with perfect dippings down the side?!! I’m in awe. This recipe looks amazing!

Thanks so much for visiting!

no gelatin added?
Gio-
No gelatin in this recipe. Thanks for stopping by.
-Jamie
Jen –
Do you crumble the Oreos with filling, or just the ends?
-Annette
Annette-
You can use the whole cookie with the filling. I hope this helps.
-Jamie
Hi, I live in the U.K, I wondered what I can use instead of frozen whipped topping, as we don’t have that here? Many thanks
Val-
You can use sweetened whipped cream. Thanks for visiting.
-Jamie
That looks so perfect! Oreo crusts were always my favorite, think I ought to try making one sometime soon… :)
June-

Medha-
Thanks so much. I really appreciate you stopping by.

Do you need to spray the foil with anything? I’m afraid it will stick if I don’t, can’t wait to try this!
Dianne-
I didn’t spray the foil, but if you’re worried, a light spray of nonstick cooking spray will be just fine.
-Jamie
when can i add whipped cream?
Jue-
I would add just before serving. I hope this helps.
-Jamie
Have you tried different toppings like strawberries or chocolate?
RedbirdGal-
I haven’t tried different toppings but I think you have some great ideas!
-Jamie
Hi Jamie, great bakes! My aunt recommended me your site :) Anyway, I have a problem and I was wondering if you can help me. I followed another recipe that needed gelatin powder and my cake turned out like a pudding. Have you tried one using gelatin powder too? Does the whip cream make the texture better?
Hiko-
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ve actually never tried a recipe that called for gelatin, I usually use sweetened condensed milk or whipped topping. I’m sorry I am not much of a help with this question. Have a great day!
-Jamie
Absolutely LUV<3 the photos and the recipe it was delicous. Have a great night ;)
P.S. You did a great job with placing the pie filling!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
-Jamie
would this recipe also work with raspberries rather than cherries do you think?
Hello!
You can definitely top this cheesecake with any fruit that you love. Blueberries, raspberries, etc. Enjoy!
-Jamie
Hi,
The recipe sounds Simple and great…
And pictures are super awesome…
I have a question you said Cover and refrigerate after the cream cheese is put in……what do you cover the cream cheese filling with???
Same foil??? Won’t it stick on foil????
Just wondering how to cover it???
Thanks
It depends on the height of your pan. If the foil or cling wrap is too close to the top, simply insert a couple of toothpicks into the cheesecake to prevent the foil from touching the top of the cheesecake. I hope this helps.
-Jamie
Not everyone likes canned fruit ( pie filling ) do you have any other suggestions for the topping maybe like a salted carmel or something
You can top the cheesecake with anything you want, it’s pretty much a blank canvas! Enjoy.
-Jamie
Wonder if anyone ever tried to make these into minis using a muffin pan???
How can this be modified for a 9×13 cake pan?
Hi, Linda! I would add another half recipe to the one shown. Let me know how it turns out!
Do you omitt the icing in the cookie. If you don’t will the crust be to sweet?
Hi, Nancy! I use the entire Oreo, including the icing, and the crust is just right. Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy it.
I LOVE this website. I’ve been all over it tonight! I just started my recipe blog: http://www.maxandrosies.com. My husband LOVES cheesecake- this recipe is going to happen. Soon. Thanks for sharing!
a great recipe , its hard for me to find cool whip here but i will try it with other whipped cream and see how it goes!
Thank you, Vincent! Let me know how it turns out!
Is the whipped topping that’s folded in to the cream cheese just cream whipped?
Hi, Julie! No, the whipped topping is Cool Whip or another whipped topping. Let me know if you have any other questions!
can i omit the whip cream? and how can you revise the recipe using sweetened condensed milk? nice recipe and great photos by the way.
Hi, Isai! I’ve never made this particular recipe with sweetened condensed milk, so I can’t attest to the outcome. I think you could try omitting the whipped topping and adding some sweetened condensed milk…I would assume one cup would be good? I’d love to hear what the result is. Good luck!
woow looks so delicious
Thank you! I hope you like it!
Hey, we do not have here cool whip etc, so don’t really know what’s it like, sweet, not? can I use cream I whipped myself instead? If so, do I have to put sugar in it? Does it need to be frozen, cold? TY
Hi, Ronnie! You could give this Homemade Cool Whip recipe a try. It definitely needs to be cold for the cheesecake. I hope you enjoy it!
Hi, I’m from Australia and love this recipe and thinking of using it for one of my Christmas dishes .. just wondering when you use oreos as a base to you take the filling out before you crush them?
Hi, Karen! Crush the Oreos first to make the crust. After you’ve pressed the crust into the pan, then move on to the filling. I hope everyone enjoys this at Christmas!
Hi again, also I don’t think we have cool whip or tru whip here in Australia is there an alternative?
Hi, Karen! I haven’t tried this, but I think maybe this Homemade Cool Whip recipe might help. Good luck, and let me know how it goes!
I’m not sure what I did wrong, the recipe is super simple to follow. But mine still hasn’t firmed up enough yet, after being in the frig for 24 hours. It’s really soft, firmer than pudding- but not firm like cheesecake.
I’m sorry to hear that, Toni! Did you enjoy the taste? Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!
hi ms.jamie! ur work is so amazing, just found myself fell in love with this mouthwatering cheesecakes,.thank you for sharing, ur awesome.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Salie!
Hi Ms.Jamie, I don’t have vanilla so what can I put instead of vanilla? And for the topping, can I put ice cream instead of the cream cheese?
Thank you so much
Hi, Mora! You can omit the vanilla if you like. Regarding the topping: did you mean replace the cherry pie filling with ice cream? You could probably use whatever kind of topping you like for this cheesecake. I hope you enjoy it!
love to try your recipe but I do I print recipe only?
my pc is too big to lug around.
thanks
Hi, Louise! There’s an icon right below the picture in the recipe where you can print the recipe. I hope you enjoy it!
I made this recepie. Great!
I’m so glad to hear that, Catia!
Hi! Does the confectioner’s sugar have to be sifted? Will it make a noticeable difference if it’s not?
Hi, Jen! I think you’ll be okay without sifting. Let me know if you like it!
I’m thinking of making this with lemon Oreos and lemon extract instead of Vanilla. Any ideas for toppings?
Sounds wonderful, Christine! I bet crushed lemon Oreos on top would be amazing. Let me know how it turns out!
Looks delicious !
Can you use condensed milk instead of powdered sugar?
I have not tried this substitution for this specific recipe, but I have made other no bake cheesecakes using sweetened condensed milk and it works beautifully. Thanks for stopping by.
