A quick and easy no-bake Oreo cheesecake served in jars, perfect for graduation parties and last-minute celebrations. Creamy, rich, and packed with Oreo crunch without the need for an oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • Mini Oreo cookies (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Oreo cookies until you have about 1 ½ cups (150 g) of crumbs. Mix these crumbs with 5 tablespoons (70 g) melted unsalted butter until fully combined. It should look like wet sand. If mixture feels too dry, add more melted butter, one teaspoon at a time.
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of the Oreo crust into the bottom of each jar, pressing gently with the back of the spoon to form an even base. Set the jars aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese (16 oz/450 g) with ¾ cup (90 g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, preserving the airiness. Fold in about 1 cup (100 g) of crushed Oreos (reserve a handful for garnish). Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the Oreo crust in each jar, filling to the top. Smooth the surface gently with a spoon.
  7. Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to let the cheesecake set and flavors meld.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos or mini Oreos on top for garnish.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Fold whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and fluffy. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. If filling is too thick after chilling, let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. For gluten-free, use gluten-free sandwich cookies. For vegan, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped cream with vegan cookies.
