Tips For Making Oreo Cheesecakes
Crushing The Oreos
If you don't have a high-speed blender or a food processor at hand, you can place your Oreos into a large ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin instead.
It is important that the crumbs are extra fine for the filling but for the base they can be a little more coarse.
Don't Remove The Oreo Creme Centres
This contributes towards a creamy texture so make sure that you use the whole of each Oreo.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many stores and supermarkets here in the UK now offer gluten free Oreos in the 'free from' section. Be sure to check if they do where you live!
Two of the main pieces of equipment that you will need are an 8-inch, round springform baking tin and a hand-whisk. Using a springform tin makes removing the cheesecake far easier and the hand-whisk will be used with whipping up the filling ingredients.
Slice the cheesecake up and store inside an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let the slices thaw individually at room temperature for a few hours.
Don't do this! This is a no-bake cheesecake which can only go into the fridge.
How To Store This Cheesecake
Store your Oreo cheesecake in the fridge for up to 5 days. It will continue to thicken as time goes on.

Ingredients
For the crust:
- 350 g Oreos
- 120 g vegan butter block melted
- Pinch of salt
For the cheesecake filling:
- 400 g vegan cream cheese
- 80 g powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 g coconut oil melted
- 150 ml vegan double cream
- 100 g Oreos crushed finely
Instructions
Preparation:
- Grease an 8” round springform baking tin with vegan butter.
Make the Oreo crust:
- Add your Oreos to a high-speed blender or food processor and blitz until fine crumbs form.
- Next, pour in the melted butter and salt. Blitz to create a wet base mixture.
- With the flat bottom of a glass, press the Oreo base into the bottom of the greased cake tin.
- Place the base into the freezer while you make the cheesecake filling.
Make the cheesecake filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and melted coconut oil.
- Next stir in the vegan double cream. Add the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or use an electric hand-whisk to whisk the mixture in the mixing bowl for roughly 5 minutes until it thickens and the peaks are quite stiff and can hold themselves.
- Finally fold in the finely crushed Oreos to complete the Oreo filling. Take the base out from the freezer and pour the filling over it.
- Top with extra Oreo crumbs if you wish, then place in the fridge to set for at least 12 hours. The longer you leave it in the fridge, the thicker it will become.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform tin. Slice and serve.
