Variations of a No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake

Cheesecake has so many variations that they could fill an entire book - but I'm going to try my best here and give you just a taste of what's possible with this no-bake recipe.

• Key Lime Cheesecake: Add the juice of one key lime and a tablespoon of grated peel
• Red Velvet cheesecake: Simply use red velvet cake mix to make it. To avoid having too much liquid, do not add the whole amount called for on the box; instead, reduce it by half or a third.
• White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake: Simply use white chocolate cake mix for the base, and then add raspberry extract or puree to give it a fruity twist.
• Mint Oreo Cheesecake: Use mint extract instead of vanilla and topp with whipped cream and Andes mint candies.

Another great idea is to add some chocolate whipped cream on top of your slice with crushed Oreos mixed right into it. And don't forget the chocolate syrup drizzle!

• If you want to keep the velvety cheesecake filling texture, perpare this using an electric mixer instead of mixing by hand.
