A decadent cheesecake slice made from an Oreo biscuit and butter base, then topped with a cream cheese and Oreo mixture.

If you like Oreos as much as me, then you'll love this Oreo Cheesecake Slice. Crushed Oreos mixed with melted butter to form a chocolatey base then topped with a cream cheese, thickened cream and broken Oreo mixture. I like to decorate my slice pieces with an additional piece of Oreo on top!

For another decadent dessert made with Oreos, have a look at my Coffee Chocolate Parfait recipe.

Ingredient notes:

Various ingredients for a dessert are arranged on a wooden surface, including cream, cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, sugar, and two packs of Oreo cookies.

Oreos: The namesake of the recipe, these cookies are in the base, the filling and as an optional decoration on top!
Thickened Cream: It's important to use thickened cream and not pouring cream. Thickened cream contains gelatine which is a setting agent.
Butter: I use the same salted butter in all my baking and cooking. You call use unsalted if you prefer.

Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.

Step by step instructions:

Line the base of a 20cm square tin with baking paper. Place the Oreos in a food processor, reserving 5 for filling. Blitz to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and blitz again until combined.

Easter Cheesecake

I've also used this recipe to make an Easter Cheesecake. It's the same base and cream cheese filling but instead of being topped with Oreos it has mini Easter Eggs on top. How cute is that?

Recipe FAQs:

Can I use regular cream instead of thickened cream?

Thickened cream has gelatine in it which helps the slice to set. While you could use whipped pouring cream, it won't set as well.

Do I need a food processor to make this?

A food processor makes it much easier to achieve a smooth base and creamy filling, but you could also crush the Oreos in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin and mix the filling by hand or with a hand mixer. The cream and cream cheese can be mixed together with a hand held beater instead of in the food processor.

Storage:

Store any leftover slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

This slice can also be frozen. Store in a freezer-safe container and thaw in the fridge before serving.

Top tips:

Thickened cream has gelatin in it which helps the slice to set.
Cheesecakes benefit from a long setting time. If you have to make it on the day you want to serve it, make it as early as possible in the morning or speed up the setting process by placing it in the freezer.
