First of all I’ll introduce the ingredients of this recipe.
Oreo cookies –Oreo cookies are the main ingredient of the Oreo cheesecake recipe. They are used for preparing the cake crust. I have used a full family pack packet for this cake (at least 24 cookies).
Butter –It acts as adhesive for the cake base. We will use unsalted butter because it allows you to have more control over the overall salt content of the cheesecake .
Granulated sugar –It act as a sweetening agent in our Oreo cheesecake. It helps to balance the flavours as well as it provides the proper structure. granulated sugar helps to retain the moisture and your cake should be moist.
Cream cheese – Specially suggest Philadelphia cream cheese.. this is perfect for cheesecakes. It provides the rich, creamy and smooth texture. you can used according to your choices but make sure to used full fat cream cheese.
Heavy cream –It gives Smooth texture and helps to achieve the desirable consistency to your cheesecake. Heavy cream helps to balance the sweetness specially with our Oreo cookies.
Vanilla extract –Vanilla extract gives pleasant and strong aroma to our delicious cake .This is also known as classic flavour agent in baked items.
What is the difference between Baked and No baked
cheesecake
Baked cheesecake specially contains eggs it gives creamier texture to the recipe and no baked cheesecake contains whipped cream instead of eggs it gives softer and fluffier texture to cheesecake. No baked Cheesecake has slightly shorter shelf life than baked one.
Cheesecake without sour cream
It’s not always necessary that you should prepare cheesecake with sour cream topping. and I feel it can detract from the cream cheese flavor.
Is it important to used full fat cream cheese?
Yes, it is important to used full fat cream cheese. It gives rich and creamy texture. Full fat cream cheese provides best consistency which makes your cheesecake smooth and firm. If you’re using lighter version, their are some drawbacks that it can’t give perfect texture and not set properly. So, make sure to used full fat cream cheese for no bake Oreo cheesecake.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Offcourse, you can make this ahead of time. In fact, it’s better to make it in advance. Making it a day or two ahead allows the cheesecake to set properly in the fridge, and give it a firmer texture and a more intense flavor. Just make sure to cover it well with plastic wrap or foil to keep it fresh. This also helps save time if you’re preparing for a special occasion, as all you need to do is serve it when ready!
