A quick and easy no-bake Oreo cheesecake layered in jars, perfect for portion control and elegant dessert presentation without the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve some whole for garnish)
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo crust: Place about 15 Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed (about 1 cup of crumbs). If using a bag, crush carefully with a rolling pin. Transfer crumbs to a bowl and stir in melted butter until well combined. Divide this mixture evenly among your serving jars and press down firmly to form the crust layer. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling (10 minutes).
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape the sides frequently to ensure no lumps remain.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using clean beaters until soft peaks form.
  4. Fold cream into cream cheese: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in three additions, using a spatula with gentle, sweeping motions to keep the mixture airy and light.
  5. Add crushed Oreos: Reserve about 5 Oreos, roughly chopped. Fold these into the filling to add texture and Oreo crunch.
  6. Assemble the jars: Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling over the chilled crusts in each jar, filling them nearly to the top. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the jars for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the cheesecake set.
  8. Garnish and serve: Just before serving, top each jar with a whole Oreo or a few cookie crumbs.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling light and airy. Chill jars for at least 3 hours or overnight for best texture. If filling is too soft after chilling, freeze for 10 minutes to firm up without freezing solid. Use gluten-free or dairy-free substitutes as needed for dietary restrictions.
