Equipment

10-inch springform cake pan
Non-stick baking paper
Non-stick cooking spray (or additional melted butter)
Measuring cups and spoons
Food processor, optional
Mixing bowls
Electric or hand mixer
Rubber or silicone spatula
Plastic or saran wrap

Ingredients

Ingredients for the Oreo crust

24 Oreo cookies (2 cups crushed)
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled

Ingredients for the no-bake choc chip filling

24 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups chocolate chips
Chocolate drizzle, for garnish

Instructions

Make the Oreo crust
To start, line a springform cake pan with non-stick baking paper. Then, brush the sides with melted butter or spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Set the pan aside.
Combine the crushed Oreo biscuits and melted butter in a food processor. Work the cookies until you have a uniform, fine, wet crumb.
Press the crumbs inside your lined cake pan. Make sure you press them in tightly so that they are compact. If you don't, the cheesecake slices will fall apart.
Place the crust-lined pan inside the fridge to rest.

Make the no-bake chocolate chip cheesecake filling
Add the softened cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar too. Start beating together the ingredients until they become fluffy and soft. This shouldn't take longer than 3-4 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla extract. Set the cream cheese aside.
Next, whip the heavy cream until it reaches stiff peaks.
Fold in a third of the whipped cream roughly. Then, more gently this time, fold in another third of the whipped cream. Finally, add the remaining whipped cream and fold it in completely.
When the final addition is almost fully incorporated, add the chocolate chips and fold them in with the cream.

Set the choc chip cheesecake
Gently add the whipped cheesecake filling onto the Oreo crust. Make sure that it is completely level. Don't tap the cake pan (it will deflate your cheesecake).
Wrap the entire cake pan in plastic or saran wrap. Place it inside the fridge and leave it to set for 6-8 hours, but preferably overnight.
Before serving, remember to drizzle over some melted chocolate or chocolate sauce.

Notes

To make a denser cheesecake, simply whisk in the heavy cream. You don't have to whip it or fold it in. This will make it easier to work with if you are using this no-bake chocolate chip cheesecake for other treats.

Depending on how you want to use this no-bake choc chip cheesecake recipe, you don't necessarily have to make the crust. if you are making whole cheesecake, mini cheesecakes, or cheesecake bars, definitely still make the crust. It will help add texture.

If you plan on making cheesecake cake pops, the crust can be broken into the cake pop mixture to help add texture. You can also cut the cheesecake into mini squares and make square cake pops.

Do not work with this cheesecake before it has set completely. The outside will set before the inside does. So, a big mistake people make is testing the outside and think it's done. Once they cut into it, the center is still soft and runny. Leave the cheesecake to set for as long as it takes.

To remove the cheesecake from the springform cake pan, you will need an offset palette knife and a sharp, thin-blade knife. Slightly heat the blade of the thin knife. Slide it around the sides of the cheesecake pan. This will "melt" the cheesecake away from the sides. Unclasp the cake pan and remove the edges. Use a palette knife or two to lift the cheesecake off the base. You can even ask someone to help you.
