This No Bake Peppermint Oreo Cheesecake is a festive and indulgent dessert perfect for holiday celebrations. Featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, creamy peppermint-infused filling loaded with chunks of Oreo cookies, and topped with rich hot fudge and crushed peppermints, this cheesecake requires no oven time and sets beautifully in the fridge or freezer.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • More whole Oreos for the sides

Filling

  • 4 blocks (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup chopped Oreos
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Toppings

  • Hot fudge, warmed for drizzling
  • Crushed Oreos
  • Crushed peppermints
  • Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Melt the butter and stir it into the Oreo crumbs until evenly coated to form the base mixture.
  2. Press crust mixture: Firmly press the Oreo and butter mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan and slightly up the sides using the back of a spoon or metal measuring spoon for clean edges.
  3. Create cookie border: Line the inside edge of the pan with whole Oreos standing upright around the crust to form a decorative border. Set aside.
  4. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, chopped Oreos, and peppermint extract with an electric mixer until smooth and combined.
  5. Whip cream: Pour in the heavy cream and continue whipping until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in texture.
  6. Fill the crust: Pour the peppermint Oreo filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or freeze for 4 hours until firm and set.
  7. Add toppings: Just before serving, drizzle the cheesecake with warm hot fudge and generously sprinkle crushed peppermints and extra cookie crumbs over the top.
  8. Serve: Slice and serve each piece with a dollop of whipped cream and optionally a full Oreo on top for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • For a firmer cheesecake, freezing for 4 hours is recommended; otherwise, chilling in the fridge for 6 hours works well.
  • Use a warm knife when slicing for clean, neat pieces.
  • Adjust the amount of peppermint extract according to your taste preference to avoid overpowering the dessert.
  • Cover the cheesecake well during chilling to prevent odors from the fridge from affecting the flavor.
