12 to 14miniOreoschopped (or 6 full-size Oreos, cut in half)
Instructions
To make the crust: Add the Oreos to a food processor and process until you have fine crumbs. Scoop the crumbs into a mixing bowl, add the melted butter, and mix until the crumbs are moistened.
Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, scoop the mixture into the pan, and firmly press it down into one even layer. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill while you make the cheesecake filling.
To make the filling: Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Pour the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl. Start mixing on low speed, then increase the speed to medium-high until the mixture thickens and stiff peaks form. Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and gently fold it in or mix it in on low speed with your mixer until just combined. Then, fold in the chopped Oreos.
Remove the springform pan from the refrigerator, scoop the cheesecake filling onto the crust, and carefully spread it around into one even layer.
If desired, pipe whipped cream around the edges and top with the Oreos.
Cover tightly and transfer back to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 to 5 hours or overnight. Remove the no-bake cheesecake from the pan, slice and enjoy!

Notes
Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Heavy Whipping Cream: In the original recipe I posted in 2016, I used 16 ounces of thawed whipped topping (such as Cool Whip). If you prefer to use this, simply leave out the heavy whipping cream and gently fold 16 ounces of whipped topping into the other filling ingredients. You may also slightly reduce the powdered sugar in the recipe as well, start with 3/4 cup and add more if desired.
