This No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Practically Makes Itself

If you love the decadence of cheesecake, but without all the work, it’s time to give no-bake cheesecake a try. This recipe for a no-bake Oreo cheesecake (also called Oreo pie), made with a chocolatey Oreo crumb crust, cookies-and-cream cheesecake filling, and pillowy whipped cream and crunchy Oreo cookies on top, is summer’s simplest make-ahead dessert.

What You'll Need

Cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese gives this no-bake cheesecake its rich texture. Softening the cream cheese first, and then beating until lightened makes it easier to fold in the whipped cream.
