A delightful no-bake cheesecake made with Golden Oreo cookies and a refreshing lemon flavor.
Ingredients
- 24 Golden Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 12 Golden Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Lemon slices or twists (for garnish)
- Extra Golden Oreo cookies, crushed or halved (for garnish)
- Lemon zest (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Golden Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Fold in the chopped Golden Oreo cookies.
- Spoon the filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake.
- Decorate with lemon slices or twists, Golden Oreo cookies, fresh lemon zest, and mint leaves, if desired.
Notes
- For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight.
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
- Optional: Add more lemon zest for a stronger lemon flavor.
