No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 2 cups graham crackers crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream chilled, whipped to medium-stiff peaks
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed Halloween Oreo cookies
  • additional 24 Oreos to top cheesecake

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Pulse graham crackers to crumbs in a food processor. Alternatively, use the flat bottom of a drinking glass to crush the crackers.
  • In a large bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and melted butter. Fold together using a large spatula, until dry ingredients have been moistened.
  • Divide crust mixture among 2- mini cheesecake pans. I used about 2 Tbsp of mixture per cavity. If using a 9-inch springform, line the bottom of the pan with crust mixture.
  • Push the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan. I like to use a muddler, like the one shown above. You can also a tamper or the bottom of spice jars. Set aside while you prepare cheesecake filling.

Cheesecake Filling

  • In a clean bowl, use a whisk to whip cold heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks. Alternatively, whip in a stand mixer using a whisk attachment. Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the fridge while you prepare other ingredients.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream softened cream cheese until smooth using a paddle attachment. Scrape down bowl as needed to ensure thorough mixing. Add sugar, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  • Fold in crushed Oreo cookies.
  • Add 1/3 of whipped cream mixture. Fold to combine. Add remaining whipped cream mixture in two additions. Fold until distributed.
  • Divide cheesecake filling among prepared mini cheesecake pan. Fill the cavity until cheesecake reaches the top. If desired, top cheesecake filling with a whole Oreo cookie. Place in freezer for at least 4 hours.
  • Once cheesecake filling is firm, remove from pan. Push up the removable bottom tin to release cheesecake. Transfer to a freezer safe container and leave in freezer until ready to serve. If serving the cheesecake as a dessert sandwich, serve frozen. If serving at a plated dessert, let cheesecake soften in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
