This No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake is a luscious, creamy dessert that combines a crunchy Oreo crust with a smooth strawberry-infused mascarpone and cream cheese filling. Topped with fresh whipped cream, strawberries, and mini Oreos, it’s a perfect, easy-to-make treat that requires no oven, just refrigeration for setting.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 20 Oreo Cookies, crushed into crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 4 envelopes unflavored gelatin (7 grams each)
  • 2/3 cup cold water
  • 3 cups strawberries, cut into cubes
  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3 tablespoons white granulated sugar

Garnish

  • Mini Oreos
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Strawberry topping (optional, as per recipe reference)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl until fully mixed. Press this mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 10-inch or 9x13-inch pan using a measuring cup to help press firmly. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to set.
  2. Bloom and dissolve gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup of cold water in a small bowl and let it absorb for 1-2 minutes. Microwave for 30 seconds, then whisk until completely dissolved to form the gelatin mixture. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Make strawberry puree: Process 1 ½ cups of strawberries in a food processor until smooth and set aside.
  4. Mix cheese and sugar: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and 1 cup sugar together on medium-low speed until well blended. Stop to scrape bowl sides to ensure even mixing. Avoid overmixing to prevent separation.
  5. Whip cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup cold heavy cream, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture with a spatula until combined.
  6. Combine gelatin and strawberry puree: Stir the strawberry puree into the gelatin mixture until fully incorporated.
  7. Mix gelatin mixture into cheesecake batter: Add the strawberry gelatin blend to the cream cheese mixture and stir well to combine.
  8. Fold in strawberries: Gently fold the remaining cubed strawberries into the cheesecake filling.
  9. Assemble cheesecake: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Chill cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight to firm up.
  11. Prepare whipped cream topping: Whip remaining 1 cup heavy cream and 3 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe decorative swirls onto the chilled cheesecake.
  12. Garnish and serve: Remove cheesecake from pan carefully, decorate with fresh strawberries and mini Oreos, and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and mascarpone for smoother blending.
  • Do not overmix the cheese to avoid separation.
  • Chilling time is critical for the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Use a springform pan for easier removal, but a 9x13 pan works fine.
  • Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator and consume within 4 days for optimal freshness.
  • Gelatin can be substituted with agar agar for a vegetarian option, adjusting quantities accordingly.
