*I originally shared this post in June 2016. I’m re-sharing it today with updated photos and a video tutorial. Enjoy! Summer is officially here! Well, actually it’s here unofficially since it’s only the beginning of June but if this warm weather is any indication, it is definitely that time of year again! My husband and I attended a friend’s outdoor wedding this weekend and the weather was absolutely gorgeous – bright and sunny and almost too hot to bear sitting outside for the wedding ceremony. We had an absolute blast dancing the night away with our friends and acting like we’re in our twenties (we’re not), and the kids had a blast having a sleepover at grandma and grandpa’s house. I can’t decide what I enjoyed more, all the fun we had at the wedding or getting to sleep in until almost 9 in the morning on Sunday!

Classic No Bake Cheesecake
This Classic No Bake Cheesecake is so creamy and delicious and it's made with only 3 ingredients!! It's the perfect easy dessert that you don't have to bake! Serve it with fresh berries for an easy summer treat or add whatever toppings you like and enjoy it any time of the year!
Recipe: Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 c. crushed Oreo cookies
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
For the cheesecake:
- 16 ounces reduced fat cream cheese feel free to use full fat if you wish!, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Recipe: Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the spring-form pan and pack it down as well as possible. Chill for 10 minutes in the fridge to set.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer) mix the cream cheese on high speed until it's very creamy and smooth. Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed and then high speed until the sugar is all incorporated.
- Add the vanilla (if desired) and mix to combine.
- Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese and sugar mixture with a rubber spatula just until it's combined. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust and smooth out the top as much as possible.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the cheesecake sit in the freezer for 2-4 hours and then in the fridge overnight. I always find that chilling overnight is best since it help the cheesecake become very firm and helps it slice nicely.
- Alternatively, chill in the fridge overnight and then place in the freezer for 2 hours before serving. This will yield the same result.
- Once the cheesecake has spent enough time in the freezer, let it sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes at room temperature before slicing into it. Serve with fresh berries or whatever you wish!

So easy and light–love this!
Thanks so much Kristen!
I made this for a spring family potluck dinner and planned to take fresh fruit to top each slice. But we forgot the friut and served it “naked.” I had so many compliments, and everyone remarked on how light it was. I was glad I’d added the zest of a lemon while folding in the whipped cream, which I thought would suit the fresh fruit. It was a perfect, satisfyingly decadent, yet refeshing dessert and so darn easy to make! Impressive and simple recipe!
Hi may i know the whip cream do we have to mix it first before we fold it together or just pust the whip cream just like that and fold it?
Yes, definitely whip the cream first and then fold it in.
Haven't met a cheesecake I haven't liked-I bet I'm going to love this one! Can't wait to try this!
Haha! Me neither! 🙂 Thanks!
Chrissie, this is so pretty! I love cheesecake for summer desserts. I am putting this one on my must make list!
Thanks so much! They're my favourite too!
They look absolutely perfect!
Thanks so much Meg!
I received a request from a friend to make her a cheesecake. Long story short: I fell asleep in the afternoon and only woke up after 10 that evening and had to have the cheesecake ready in the morning. So I rushingly started to Google recipes and I came across this one and decided to try it since it only took 3 ingredients and I must say it’s the best cheesecake recipe I have ever tried and by far the most delicious! I received compliments for days and I just had to thank you so much!!! I now make this cheesecake every Sunday for the family and each time use different fruit or different cookie bases. It’s always a winner!!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
incredible, I always love these cheesecake too. I will try to do this one for this weekend. Hoping I would enjoy it when I wake up, with some coffee. It will be so good. Thank for your sharing
So glad you like the recipe!! 🙂
Do you put it back in the freezer after you have eaten your slices?
I’m all about silky smooth cheesecake!
Me too!! 🙂
This looks amazing!
Thanks!
hello! i’m just about to try your recipe, and want to confirm that the whipped cream is 3 cups that isn’t whipped yet and not 3 cups cream that has already been whipped?
Thank you for your time!
It’s 3 cups of whipped cream, so 1.5 cups of heavy whipping cream (liquid) whipped to stiff peaks and then folded into the cream cheese mixture.
This looks so good – easy and simple. Perfect for Summer.
Thanks so much!
This looks amazing! So great to have a no bake option especially this time of year when the oven is usually on overload!
I agree totally!! 🙂
I’m a sucker for a good piece of cheesecake! Can’t wait to take my first bite!
Me too 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!
Beautiful pics! This cheesecake looks amazing!
Thanks!
Looks heavenly! I know this will quickly disappear on our table, need to make this soon!
You’ll love it!
This couldn’t be more perfect! LOVE that it’s no-bake!
Thanks!

Whatever you want!! 😉
Looks delicious and so easy to make! My family definitely love this!
I’m so glad!
The Best Recipe For Christmas Dessert!!!! Love It!!
Thanks so much!
Will try this for my husbands birthday
Hope he loves it!
I hope you enjoy it!! 🙂
For a great variatiuon, instead of the vanilla, add 1 ox of Cream de Cacoa (white chocolate liquor) for a white chocolate flavor. Top with fresh strawberry slices
Sounds delicious!
sounds delicious but it is far too high in fat and sugar for me sadly. I would need to cut way back on the sugar
This looks amazing! Can you keep it frozen to eat in a few weeks from the time created?
You can, although the flavour is much better fresh. Be sure to freeze in an airtight container.
Isit 3 cups of liquip whip cream bthen mix on high speed?
It’s 3 cups of whipped cream, so 1.5 cups of heavy whipping cream (liquid) whipped to stiff peaks and then folded into the cream cheese mixture.
What is the size of your cake pan? 8inch? 9 inch?
It’s a standard 9-inch springform pan.
Are there any substitutes for whipping cream? Could yoghurt be used?
You could use whipped topping instead of whipped cream. Yogurt will not work.
cheesecake is my favorite dessert. easy, yummy, and simple to serve.
I haven’t made it yet but I’m sure it will be delish! thanks for recipe and the time you put into these guys!!
wish you well:)
Thanks so much!!
Hi can I make this with a graham cracker crust?
Exactly the same way – just substitute the graham cracker crumbs for the Oreo crumbs!
Yes, you can. You may need to increase the butter by 1-2 teaspoons for the same amount of crushed crackers though.
Excellent cheesecake recipe. Very tasty. Changed the oreos for other alternative biscuits and added more butter to base to make it less crumbly. Easy to make.
So glad the recipe turned out delicious!!🙂
Hi
Unless I missed it, what size pan did you use?
Thanks
9-inch springform is best!
I used a 9 inch pan for this cheesecake!
I plan on making this later today and will be using peanut butter cookies and Cool Whip. Not a big fan of oreo cookies, except their lemon ones…which I will use on my next one…providing this one works. Is Cool Whip ok to use?
Yes! Let us know how it turns out!
Is “whipped topping” the same as Cool Whip?
Yes!
CAN “DREAM WHIP?” BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE WHIPPED TOPPING?
Sure.
Best receipe ever
Thanks!
