Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to bring this cool and creamy dessert together (exact measurements are in the recipe card at the end):
For the Crust:
- Oreo Cookies: Crushed finely to create a sweet, chocolatey base.
- Melted Butter: Helps hold the crust together.
- Granulated Sugar: Adds a little sweetness to the base.
For the Filling:
- Cream Cheese: Full-fat, softened. This is the rich, tangy backbone of the filling.
- Heavy Cream: Whipped and folded in for an airy, mousse-like texture.
- Granulated Sugar: For sweetness and stability.
- Powdered Sugar: Adds smoothness and sweetens the whipped cream portion.
- Cherry Gelatin: Dissolved and cooled slightly, it gives the cheesecake color and fruity flavor.
- Frozen Cherries: Thawed; half diced, half left whole for texture and juicy bites.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Stirred into the filling for chocolatey surprises in every bite.
Variations for Oreo Cherry Chocolate Chip No Bake Cheesecake
- Swap the Fruit: Not a cherry fan? Try raspberries, strawberries, or even blueberries. Just dice and fold them in after thawing.
- Chocolate Cookie Crust Twist: Use chocolate graham crackers or chocolate chip cookies instead of Oreos for a different base flavor.
- Mini Cheesecakes: Use a muffin tin lined with paper cups to create individual servings—great for parties!
- Add a Swirl: Drizzle some cherry jam or fudge sauce into the filling before chilling for extra flavor ribbons.
- Go Extra Crunchy: Mix chopped pecans or almonds into the Oreo crust for added texture.
How to Make Oreo Cherry Chocolate Chip No Bake Cheesecake (Step-by-Step)

1. Make the Oreo Crust
- Crush the Oreos in a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine.
- Mix with melted butter and a bit of sugar in a bowl until it resembles wet sand.
- Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Use the flat bottom of a cup to make it even.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the Cherry Gelatin
- Dissolve the cherry gelatin in hot water as directed on the box, then let it cool to room temperature—not set, just cool.
- Stir in the diced cherries (reserve the whole ones for topping or folding into the mix later).
3. Whip the Cream
- In a clean mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Set aside in the fridge.
4. Make the Cream Cheese Filling
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Slowly fold in the cooled cherry gelatin mixture (do this gradually to avoid curdling).
- Gently fold in the whipped cream, using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the air.
- Stir in chocolate chips and remaining whole cherries if using.
5. Assemble and Chill
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust.
- Smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or overnight, until set.
Serving and Decoration
You’ve waited, it’s chilled—now it’s time to serve.
- Clean Slice Tip: Run a sharp knife under hot water and wipe it clean between each slice for perfect cuts.
- Garnish Ideas: Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, extra cherries, a drizzle of chocolate sauce, or a few crushed Oreos.
- Serving Style: This cheesecake pairs beautifully with a cold glass of milk or coffee, especially after a savory meal.
How to Store Oreo Cherry Chocolate Chip No Bake Cheesecake
- Refrigerator: Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep it airtight to avoid absorbing other fridge odors.
- Freezer: You can freeze this cheesecake (without topping) for up to 1 month. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Tips and Tricks for Success
- Soft Cream Cheese is Key: Let it come to room temp before mixing for that ultra-smooth texture.
- Cool the Gelatin: Hot gelatin can melt your filling or make it lumpy. Let it cool before adding.
- Don’t Over-Mix: Folding gently helps maintain the light, airy texture from the whipped cream.
- Chill Time Matters: The longer it chills, the better it sets. Overnight chilling gives the best texture and flavor.

Oreo Cherry Chocolate Chip No Bake Cheesecake FAQs
Can I use fresh cherries instead of frozen?
Yes, just make sure to pit and chop them. Frozen cherries are often softer and juicier, which works well for no-bake fillings.
What if I don’t have a springform pan?
You can use a regular 9-inch pie dish or a square baking pan lined with parchment for easy lifting.
Can I skip the gelatin?
You can, but the filling will be much softer. If skipping, chill it overnight for a firmer texture or add a stabilizer like instant pudding mix.
