Delicious No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake!

Not all Filipinos have an oven at home. Unlike in other countries, oven is one of the basic necessities. So, when I told a friend of mine that I made this delicious No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake, she's very excited and asked for the recipe immediately.

And for those who have their ovens, of course you can also bake your own cheesecake. But I absolutely recommend this one. You should try it also because this recipe is very easy and hassle-free. Absolutely without too much preparations. And who doesn't love cheesecake and oreo, right? This is a perfect dessert when you want a treat, without turning on your oven. :)

10 to 15-minute preparation, throw it in the fridge to set and boom! Enjoy every Oreo filled cheesecake bite!



Ingredients:

Crust:

1 cup crushed graham cracker

5 tablespoon unsalted butter(melted)

2tbsp sugar

Cheesecake: 2 cups heavy cream

8oz cream cheese, softened

2/3 cup sugar

½ teaspoon iodized salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 teaspoon vanilla powder

¾ cups Oreo Cookies, crushed

3 tbsp gelatin powder (melted in water)

Instructions:

Crust:

1. Combine graham cracker crumbs with sugar.

2. Add melted butter and blend until combined.

3. Press into pan. Set aside.

Cheesecake:

1. Beat heavy cream until medium peaks form. Set aside.

2. Add cream cheese, sugar, salt, vanilla powder, gelatin, lemon juice to a bowl and beat with a paddle attachment until smooth. If you do not have a stand mixer or a paddle attachment, you can also use a hand beater.

3. Add cream cheese mixture to heavy cream and beat until combined.

4. Gently put-in Oreo cookies. ( I crumbled some oreos)

5. Fill chosen pan with a slight mound at the center, as the cheesecake will become slightly sunken at the center.

6. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set or overnight for best results.

7. Remove from refrigerator and smooth top to level with edges. Serve with whipping cream and garnish with mini Oreos.

I found small round chocolates (Goya) in the market and placed it on top of the cake.

ENjoy!
