Our No Bake Oreo Cheesecake recipe is simple to make and simply delicious. No oven required; you can whip up the creamy Oreo filling and crunchy biscuit base in next to no time; the hardest part is resisting the urge to eat it all.
<h3>Is no bake cheesecake better than baked cheesecake?</h3>
This comes down to your personal preference. The beauty of no bake cheesecakes is that you don’t need an oven, just a fridge to chill or set your cheesecake. No bake cheesecake recipes can be a little less technical and quicker to make than a baked cheesecake. The consistency of both can differ too; with no-bake cheesecakes being light and airy, and the baked versions being a little denser, but rich and velvety.&nbsp;See our full collection of <a href="https://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/collections/no-bakes">no bake recipes</a> here.
<h3>How to make sure your no bake cheesecake filling turns out firm</h3>
If your no bake Oreo cheesecake is too runny, you may need to leave it longer to set. To create a thick, velvety filling, ensure that you beat the whipping cream to a stiff peak consistency. This means that when the whisk is removed the cream should stand upright, forming a peak on top. If the peak droops, this is soft peak stage and your cream will need to be whipped a little bit longer. Take care not to over-beat your cream cheese, as this can cause it to separate and produce a runnier cheesecake consistency.
<h3>How to ensure your no bake cheesecake base remains crisp</h3>
When making your no bake cheesecake base, you should be sure to chill the crumb crust for at least 10 minutes to help it solidify and prevent it from turning soggy. You should also be sure to use a higher ratio of butter to crumbs for a no-bake base, as this will result in a sturdier base when refrigerated.

No Bake Oreo Cheesecake Recipe

This vegan biscoff cheesecake recipe is simple&nbsp;to make.&nbsp;Making a vegan version of a biscoff&nbsp;cheesecake is easy if you use the coconut based cream cheeses.&nbsp;I use Violife, it’s perfect and sets well with the biscoff so NO other ingredients except a little sugar are needed to give you a perfect cheesecake!
To make mini cheesecakes:-
You can also make mini versions too, simply spoon the cheesecake base into loose bottomed cupcake, mini cake tin or individual ramekins and layer the filling and topping on top as per the recipe. If you don't have a loose bottomed tin you can use a cupcake baking tin and before filling with the cheesecake biscuit base put a thin 1cm strip of parchment paper inside the cupcake case (allow some of the paper to overhang the sides) When the cheesecake has chilled, you can run a knife around the edges and lift the paper strips to gently release your mini cheesecakes.&nbsp;
