No Oven Cake Ingredients

Cookies – we used cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)

Baking powder – NOT baking soda!

Milk – use full-fat (whole) milk for best results

Chocolate ganache – use store-bought or make your own

Tips

If you don’t feel like a ganache topping, you can also use chocolate buttercream or make a glaze icing. Whip up a quick and easy glaze icing by whisking together 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar, 2 tbsp butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and up to 4 tsp milk. Drizzle and spread over the cooled cake.No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake: the decadent, no-bake dessert recipe you’ll love

Add any decorations like chocolate or rainbow sprinkles, coconut, or nuts soon after glazing and before the icing sets. This way the toppings will stick to the dessert.

Add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the cake batter to accentuate the chocolate flavor!

Make your own ganache by mixing melted dark chocolate with a bit of heavy cream.
