How to make Oreo cheesecake without baking?

Making Oreo cheesecake without baking is surprisingly simple and incredibly delicious. You start by crushing Oreos and mixing them with melted butter to form a crust—no oven required. Press that into a lined dish and chill. The filling usually includes softened cream cheese, whipped cream or a stabilizer like gelatin, sugar, and vanilla extract. For festive versions like No-Bake Fireworks Oreo Cheesecake Bars , add food coloring and swirl in patriotic patterns. Chill the whole thing for at least 4 hours, slice, and enjoy—no oven, no water bath, no stress.

What is Jello no bake Oreo dessert?

Jello no bake Oreo dessert is a boxed mix sold by the Jell-O brand that includes crust mix and cheesecake-flavored filling. You combine the crust mix with butter, press it into a pan, and then mix the filling with milk before spreading it on top. While it’s quick and convenient, it doesn't offer the homemade, colorful, customizable vibe of No-Bake Fireworks Oreo Cheesecake Bars . If you want full control over flavor, color, and ingredients, going homemade is the better option.

Can Oreos be used for cheesecake base?

Absolutely. In fact, Oreos are one of the most popular cookie bases for no-bake cheesecakes. When crushed and mixed with melted butter, they form a dense, chocolatey crust that perfectly complements the creamy cheesecake filling. No-Bake Fireworks Oreo Cheesecake Bars rely on this method for their structure and flavor. Whether you use regular Oreos, Double Stuf, or Firework Oreos, the result is always rich and satisfying.

No-Bake Fireworks Oreo Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients

Scale

24 Firework Oreos (or regular Oreos)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Red food coloring
Blue food coloring

Patriotic sprinkles or pop rocks (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Line a 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter until fully combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Chill while preparing filling.
In a large bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and blend until combined.
Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
Divide the filling into three bowls. Leave one white, tint one red, and one blue using gel food coloring.
Drop spoonfuls of each color onto the crust, then use a toothpick to swirl gently for a fireworks effect.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.

Slice into bars and top with sprinkles, pop rocks, or whipped cream before serving.

Notes

For best results, freeze bars for 30 minutes before slicing to get clean cuts. Add toppings just before serving to maintain texture and color. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individually for up to 2 months.
