Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 15 cookies)
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped cream
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10–15 drops blue food coloring
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookie chunks (reserve some for folding in)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush Oreo cookies finely and mix with melted butter until the mixture holds together. Press firmly into the base of your chosen pan to create a sturdy, tender crust foundation.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gently fold in whipped cream to maintain a light, airy texture. Stir in blue food coloring until the filling reaches the iconic Cookie Monster blue hue.
- Add Cookie Crumbles: Carefully fold in chunks of crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the vibrant blue filling for delicious bursts of cookie crunch in every bite.
- Layer and Chill: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set and flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, slice and serve your no-bake Cookie Monster Cheesecake. Garnish as desired with extra crushed Oreos, whipped cream, or mini chocolate chips for added texture and appeal.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a silky smooth filling.
- Fold ingredients gently to preserve the cheesecake’s light and airy texture.
- Use high-quality or better Oreo cookies for enhanced flavor and texture.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to ensure firm slices.
- Customize the blue color with different food coloring or natural alternatives like spirulina.
