A dreamy, creamy no-bake strawberry cheesecake with a buttery Golden Oreo crust that comes together in under an hour without the need for an oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Golden Oreo Cookies, crushed finely
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) strawberry jam or preserves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Golden Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin until sandy and even.
  2. Mix the crushed Oreos with 6 tablespoons (85 g) melted unsalted butter until all crumbs are moistened.
  3. Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan, pressing firmly to create a compact and level base. Refrigerate to chill and firm up.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 oz (450 g) softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and blend to combine.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula to keep the filling light and airy.
  7. Hull and slice 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh strawberries and fold them gently into the cheesecake filling, reserving some for garnish if desired.
  8. Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust and spread evenly. Swirl 1/4 cup (60 g) strawberry jam or preserves on top if using.
  9. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
  10. Before serving, run a warm knife along the edges to loosen the cheesecake, remove the springform ring, and garnish with reserved strawberry slices or mint leaves.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is key to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and airy. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Optional toasting of crust for 5 minutes adds crunch and flavor. Can substitute gluten-free cookies and dairy-free alternatives for dietary needs.
