Ingredients

Scale

Crust & Lining

  • 14 Oatmeal Cream Pies

Cheesecake Filling

  • 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Create the Crust: In an 8-inch springform pan, press 7 Oatmeal Cream Pies firmly down the bottom to form the crust base.
  2. Line the Sides: Arrange the remaining 7 Oatmeal Cream Pies vertically along the inside edge of the springform pan, creating the walls of the crust.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Whip Heavy Cream: Gradually add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously until thick, stiff peaks form, resulting in a light and fluffy filling.
  5. Assemble Cheesecake: Pour the prepared cheesecake mixture into the springform pan over the oatmeal pie crust and lining, spreading evenly.
  6. Freeze: Place the assembled cheesecake in the freezer, allowing it to set and firm up for 4 to 6 hours.
  7. Prepare to Serve: Remove from the freezer and let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
  8. Serve: Slice and enjoy this chilled, no-bake oatmeal cheesecake dessert.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy whipping cream for a rich, creamy texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Allow the cheesecake to sit for a few minutes after removing from freezer to ensure clean slices.
  • This cheesecake is best stored in the freezer and consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • You can garnish with fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
