Description
A delightful no-bake dessert combining rich chocolate cheesecake and crunchy Oreo cookies, perfect for warm days and quick treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 25 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chopped Oreo cookies (optional, for mixing into the filling)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Crushed Oreo cookies (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Make the Oreo Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate.
- Make the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add cocoa powder and vanilla, then mix well. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into the cream cheese mixture. Optionally, fold in chopped Oreo cookies.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the Oreo crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Make the Ganache: Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Cool until slightly thickened, then pour over the cheesecake.
- Set and Serve: Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set the ganache before slicing and serving chilled.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. This dessert is best enjoyed cold directly from the fridge.
