How To Make Easy Gluten-Free No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe with Oreo Crust- Step by Step
- Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Prepare the crust: In a food processor, add the Oreo cookies and pulse for a minute until they turn into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse for 30 seconds until the mixture looks like wet sand. Transfer the mixture to the springform pan and press it firmly up the sides. Refrigerate for 15 minutes until the cheesecake mixture is ready.
- Chop the dark chocolate bar into rough pieces and add it to a microwave-safe bowl along with the heavy cream. Microwave for 30-60 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted. Set it aside to cool down.
- In a medium bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with confectioners sugar on medium speed using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt until creamy and smooth for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the cooled melted chocolate and beat for a minute until just combined.
- Gently fold the prepared whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture in batches.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture over the cookie crumb crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Transfer the chocolate cheesecake to a plate or cake stand and decorate with whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings for added flavor, and drizzle some chocolate syrup.
- Gently slice and serve!
Tips & Tricks
- Instead of a food processor, you can also place the Oreo cookies in a Ziploc bag and seal it. Use a rolling pin to crush the cookies until they turn into fine crumbs. Use the crumbs for the crust layer
- It is also important to bring the cream cheese to room temperature before making the recipe to ensure that it blends well with the other ingredients.
- Whipping the cream to stiff peaks is crucial for adding air and lightness to the cheesecake layer.
Storage
The cheesecake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Additions and Substitutions
