Easy No Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Unashamedly indulgent, cheesecake is the perfect pick me up. Guaranteed to be a universal crowd pleaser amongst adults and children.
Using a no bake method means it’s incredibly quick and easy. Whipping the cream gives cheesecake a fluffy, mousse-like texture and the helping hand of gelatine ensures you don’t end up with a cheesecake flavoured waterfall when you take it out of the tin. Take care though – if you’re planning to serve this to vegetarians you’ll need to use a vegetarian alternative instead of gelatine, such as Dr Oetker’s Vege-Gel!

- 3 leaves of gelatine

- Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla
- Soak 3 leaves of gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes until they are soft
- Pour away the cold water and add 50ml of boiling water to the gelatine and mix like crazy until it has all dissolved
- Add the gelatine water to the cream cheese mix and then fold in the remaining broken oreos, as well as the whipped cream
