Make this rich, creamy, and decadent no bake chocolate cheesecake featuring a crunchy Oreo crust. This recipe requires no oven and delivers a satisfying chocolate dessert with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • Optional topping: Chocolate ganache or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until completely smooth. Add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Incorporate chocolate: Slowly pour the slightly cooled, melted semi-sweet chocolate into the cream cheese mixture while mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.
  5. Add cocoa powder: Sift the cocoa powder over the filling and gently fold it in until the mixture is uniformly chocolate colored. This step adds depth to the chocolate flavor.
  6. Assemble and chill: Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap.
  7. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is firm enough to slice cleanly.
  8. Before serving, remove the sides of the springform pan. Top with chocolate ganache or whipped cream if desired. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
  • If you do not have an electric mixer, you can use a sturdy whisk, but expect to spend more time beating the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Chill time is crucial for a no bake cheesecake; do not rush this step or the slices will not hold their shape.
