This no bake cheesecake is a snap to make and makes one helluva a show stopping impression!
This dessert will satisfy the cheesecake lovers, the Oreo cookie lovers, thin mint lovers and Andes candies lovers! It’s all that and more.
NO BAKE cheesecake is where it’s at. There is no crust to make, roll out and bake. There is no warm water ensuring the cheesecake doesn’t crack. And most importantly, no pressure.
What you do end up with is a smooth, silky, light and velvety-textured cheesecake filling every time.
This has all the creaminess you’d expect from whipping cream cheese and powdered sugar together. Then a few drops of peppermint and vanilla are added along with a few drops of green food coloring.
A regular cheesecake uses eggs and well, bakes in the oven. A no bake cheesecake relies on heavy cream that has been whipped to hold it together and give it the creamy texture of cheesecake. Just be sure to set some aside to garnish when you are ready to serve.
Crumbled Oreo cookie crumbs and cheesecake are layered in individual glasses and topped off an Oreo cookie for good measure. But don’t stop there! Thin Mint cookies, mint flavored Oreos or Andes mints are also great toppers.

March 20, 2022 at 1:40 pmWhen I made these, I doubled the recipe and got 8. However, I used the short, clear disposable wine cups, not a larger wine glass.

March 17, 2023 at 7:22 pmThe recipe was easy to make but the serving size was difficult. It’s a lot easier if you have a hand mixer or a mixing bowl cause doing it by hand is a hassle. Each cup I had was two layers of oreo and cheese filling I made 10 cups. I did use 4 blocks of cream cheese and just multiplied everything else by 4, wish it was clear how many servings. But they came out very cute and everyone loved them.
