No-Bake Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake

Step 1

Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray, and then wiping gently with a paper towel. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grind the cookies into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. Pour the melted butter over the cookie crumbs and stir until the crumbs are well coated.

Step 3

Pour the crumbs into your springform pan and press firmly into the bottom and up on the sides to create a thick crust. Refrigerate the crust while you are preparing the filling.

Step 4

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring each time until the chocolate is melted. Stir until completely smooth.

Step 5

Prepare the whipped cream. Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to chill. Pour 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside.

Step 6

Beat the cream cheese until it’s completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Next add the granulated sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla extract and continue beating until smooth.

Step 7

Next add the melted chocolate, beating until it’s completely mixed into the cream cheese.

Step 8

Finally, slowly fold in the whipped cream until it’s completely smooth. Then stir in the crushed Oreos. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours minimum.

Step 9

Prepare another batch of whipped cream by placing your bowl in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Beat the heavy cream in the chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Pipe the borders of the pie with whipped cream using a large open round tip. Garnish with more crushed Oreos and hot fudge.
