Are no bake cheesecakes good?

No-bake cheesecakes have a lighter texture compared to traditional baked cheesecakes. They are made with cream cheese, whipped cream, etc. Light, fluffy, and a sweet and tangy flavor, just as you would like in a classic cheesecake. They are always a hit in our books.

Be sure to check out our basque cheesecake. It is a twist to a classic cheesecake that is!

The Mason Jars we Use

We like to use 4-ounce mason jars and we find that works great for making the serving size. Feel free to make larger if you would prefer.

Ingredients Needed

Oreo Crust

• Crushed Oreos – You will crush your cookies with a food processor. Or add cookies to a Ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. You want to make sure it is fine crumbs.
• Butter – The butter is the binder to the Oreo crumbs, so that it creates a nice crust.

Cream Cheese Mixture

• Instant Chocolate Pudding – we recommend using a hand mixer or electric mixer to achieve a nice, thick, and creamy texture.
• Milk – Whole milk will offer the most decadent flavor to the cheesecake batter.
• Cream Cheese – For these no-bake cheesecake jars, you need to make sure you are using softened cream cheese. Otherwise, it will not be velvety smooth.
• Sugar – Granulated sugar is what you will want to add for a nice hint of sweetness.
• Whipped Topping – Buy Cool Whip or whip up your own with a cup of heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar.

Topping Ideas

• Crushed Oreo bits
• Candy of your choice (chop into bites)
• Sprinkles
• Hot Fudge Caramel Sauce, or other sauce of choice
• Whipped Cream

How To Make Oreo Cheesecake Jars

Step 1: Prepare the crust

Combine melted butter with crushed cookie pieces. Mix until the mixture has a wet consistency. Press into the bottom of your jars.

Step 2: Make the cheesecake

Combine the pudding and milk in a stand mixer and whisk until smooth. Add in the softened cream cheese and sugar and mix well. Fold in the whipped cream.

Step 3: Add cheesecake to jars

Either spoon the cheesecake mixture into the jars or add the cheesecake to a pastry bag and squeeze it in.

Step 4: Garnish and serve

Add your usual whipped topping, cookie bits, sprinkles or your usual toppings. Chill for 30 minutes and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

• Swap the cookies. You can use crushed graham crackers, shortbread cookies, or Golden Oreos for the crust. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to sweeten the crust.
• Use flavored pudding. It’s fine to use any flavor of pudding. They offer Oreo pudding, or you can opt for traditional options like vanilla or cheesecake flavors.
• Make in a pie pan. If you don’t have jars, you can use this recipe and put it into a 9-inch pie pan.

Practical notes

Do we have to bake the cheesecake?

No, this chocolate cheesecake with Oreo crust recipe is no-bake! You put it together, chill, and serve.

How long do Oreo cheesecake jars last?

They will last in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Can we skip chilling the mini cheesecakes?

It’s fine to eat right away if you want. We recommend chilling so the crust has time to set up. If you skip refrigerating, they will have a loose crust, but they taste the same.
