EASY NO BAKE OREO CHEESECAKE

This Easy No Bake Oreo Cheesecake recipe is smooth and creamy – it’s the perfect cheesecake recipe and it’s so easy to make with only a few ingredients – and it’s gelatin-free!! You’ll never need another no-bake cheesecake recipe again!


Some of you may not know that most no-bake cheesecakes are actually made with gelatin – it helps them set and stay together similarly to the way in which eggs in baked cheesecakes do. The only problem is, I’ve never been a fan of gelatin in no-bake cheesecakes. I find the texture just isn’t quite right and they end up tasting like something your great aunt brings to a church potluck.
