Enjoy this thick and creamy White Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake! A perfect No Bake dessert everyone will love. Cookies and cream are the best combination. Pair this with a tall glass of milk and even more Oreos!
I made this no-bake Oreo Cheesecake for my son’s 13th Birthday. I will say, my son has never had cheesecake before. He’s a pretty picky eater, so I know if I added Oreos to a cheesecake he would at LEAST try it! And it was a HIT! He and his friends ate it up quickly.
Fun fact: Oreo has over 85 different flavors! They even have a mystery flavor. By far, Oreo cookies are my FAVORITE store-bought cookie. Dip into a glass of milk. Delicious! *chefs kiss.
My friend over at Sugar Yums has a very fun and cute lunchbox cake, so your kiddos cake take their birthday cake on the go!

Important Ingredients with Substitutions
- Butter - unsalted and melted, 30 sec in the microwave to melt the butter.
- Oreo cookies - 50 large Oreo cookies in total, or 2, 300g packages. Regular Oreos, or any of the fun flavors they have you can use.
- Mini Oreos - Small to-go pack of minis will work. Since there is such a huge variety of Oreos, you really can use any kind for your topping.
- White chocolate chips - I enjoy Toll House or Ghiradelli brand, their chips are usually very creamy and have a great white chocolate flavor, which is just as important as the Oreos in this recipe.
- Cream cheese - Philadelphia cream cheese is our Go-To, but any full-fat cream cheese will be perfect. Room temperature works best. Taking your cream cheese out of the fridge the night before will be perfect and allow for easy mixing. Makes for a creamier filling, colder cream cheese can leave lumps in the filling.
- Powdered sugar - I prefer to use the Domino brand. I've tried other brands that end up leaving a chemical/floral aftertaste. If you find this is so with yous, try another brand.
- Heavy cream - Keep chilled until ready to use. If you're fresh out of heavy cream, you can swap this for sour cream.

Instructions for Oreo Cheesecake with White Chocolate
Step 1: Add melted butter and 25 Oreo cookies to a food processor. Process until combined and the mixture starts to come together. You'll want the cookies broken down pretty well into fine Oreo crumbs.
Step 2: Pour Oreo crumbs into a pie pan or 9" springform pan. Using your hand or a glass, press the Oreo crust mixture into the bottom and ½ inch up the side. Make sure to compress the cookies firmly so the cream cheese filling doesn't start to mix into your cookie crust.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, add white chocolate chips and ¼ cup heavy whipping cream.
Step 4: Microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until melted. This might take 2 or 3 20-second increments, depending on the power of your microwave.
Step 5: In a large bowl use a hand mixer to beat cream cheese until soft and smooth. If your cream cheese has been sitting out for an hour, the cream cheese will cream and soften much faster than if you are just taking the cream cheese out of the fridge.
Step 6: Add the powdered sugar and the melted white chocolate. I would add the powdered sugar slowly just so you don't end up covered in sugar dust. Beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Step 7: Add the remaining heavy whipping cream to your cream cheese mixture. Use a hand mixer on low to combine. Once combined, mix on high for 3-4 minutes until the cream cheese mixture is thickened. Taste it, I dare ya!
Step 8: Place your remaining cookies in a large Ziploc bag. Squeeze out the air, I always have to say this... it's a habit, blame my kiddos Ha!
Step 9: Crush these cookies in the bag with a rolling pin. Leave some good-sized cookie crumbs for texture.
Fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the cheesecake filling.
Step 10: Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust. Spread out evenly then top the cream cheese layer with mini Oreo cookies in any fun design you'd like. Cover with foil and chill for at least 4 hours, best if overnight.
Step 11: When you're ready to serve, remove the springform pan. Slice and serve. Serving with a nice cold glass of milk is recommended, as this awesome dessert is very rich.

Recipe Variations
What I love most about recipes like this is how easy it is to customize to your liking. Options are endless.
- Use peanut butter Oreos, for that classic combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
- Top the whole cheesecake with a thick chocolate ganache.
- Add a packet if chocolate pudding or vanilla pudding to your cream cheese mixture. There actually might even be an Oreo flavored instant pudding.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup, white chocolate syrup or even caramel over the top before serving.
- Make swirls of whipped cream around the top edges. Add any remaining crushed Oreos, or whole Oreos to the whipped cream dollops.
Storage Recommendations
Don't leave the Oreo Cheesecake out, unrefrigerated, for more than two hours. This can result in unwanted bacteria growth.
Store covered or in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Can I freeze a no-bake Oreo dessert? Wrap tightly in plastic wrap then store in a freezer-safe airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month for the freshest taste. Separate slices with parchment paper, or store slices individually for a quick dessert you can just take out as needed.

Serve immediately after removing it from the fridge. Cream cheese softens quickly at room temperature.

Recipe FAQs
Before attempting to remove it from the springform pan, be sure the cheesecake has been chilled in the fridge for at least overnight. The key here is to make sure the cream cheese layer has been in the fridge long enough to set completely.
Undo the lock on the pan, and remove the sides. Using a sharp knife or metal spatula, gently place between the Oreo crust and the pan to loosen. Then use a couple of large spatulas under the Oreo crust to place the cheesecake onto a serving plate.
With most no-bake cheesecake recipes, adequate chilling time is the most important thing when making one. Chilling for a minimum of 4 hours is okay, overnight is best if you want chilled dessert to have perfectly sliced pieces.
Under chilled white chocolate and cream cheese filling will essentially be the consistency of a mousse. I bet any Oreo lover could overlook this, but this recipe calls for chilling so make sure not to skip it.
