No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

No Bake Oreo Cheesecake February 3, 2014Dessert0 Comments

Oreo cookies are the best. I’ve yet to meet someone who can’t appreciate the tastiness of this classic treat. You can eat it straight up, dunk it in milk or pull it apart, and every time it tastes delicious. I used to work at a restaurant in my hometown that makes the most sinful Oreo cheesecake. Anytime a piece accidentally crumbled the staff beelined to the kitchen to share in a bite. Thankfully it was a rare occurrence and our waistlines didn’t suffer.

A cheesecake this delectable comes at a price. It’s my understanding the dessert was a bit labour intensive to perfect and thus I’ve never attempted to make one myself— until now. I wasn’t optimistic that a no bake cheesecake could compare to cheesecakes I’ve baked in the past, but I’ll be the first to admit my ignorance. It was quick, easy and was equally as rich and self-indulgent as its predecessor.

2 cups Oreo crumbs (roughly 20 Oreos)
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

1/2 cup sugar
