Looking for an effortlessly impressive dessert to take to your next get-together or to serve to guests? Look no further than this No Bake Marble Cheesecake!

This creamy and decadent cheesecake is seriously so easy to prepare. The hardest part is waiting for it to set in the fridge so you can sneak a bite!

Made with both milk and white chocolate, cream cheese, whipped cream and a crunchy Oreo cookie crust, you'll be wanting to go back for seconds and thirds.

Don't let the beautiful chocolate swirl on top daunt you - it's very easy to achieve and makes a lovely centrepiece to any dinner table.

I love to bring this marble cheesecake for the holidays - Easter, Christmas, New Years - it all works and there is never a bite leftover.

INGREDIENTS

cheesecake ingredients including cream cheese, butter and chocolate.

Here's what you'll need to make this cheesecake (measurements listed in the full recipe at the bottom of this post)...

  • Oreos
  • Butter
  • Cream Cheese
  • Caster Sugar - Caster sugar is slightly finer than granulated sugar but either can be used in this recipe.  See this super helpful guide "what is caster sugar" guide for more information.
  • Gelatine
  • White Chocolate
  • Heavy Cream / Thickened Cream
  • Milk Chocolate
  • Optional Toppings - grated chocolate, chocolate eggs, fresh fruit etc.

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the crust: Lightly grease a 8 inch (19cm) springform pan with butter. Place oreos in a food processor and blitz until they resemble a fine crumb.

TOP TIPS

  • Caster sugar is slightly finer than granulated sugar but either can be used in this recipe.  See this super helpful guide "what is caster sugar" guide for more information.
  • I've found some brands of gelatine recommend different preparation methods, hence recommending following what your packet says. Mine recommended adding ¼ cup of boiling water to a cup, then sprinkling the 2 tsps of gelatine on top, mixing well to combine.
  • When baking it really is best to measure your ingredients to get exact results. A kitchen scale is inexpensive (generally around $10) and will make baking so much easier. I've provided rough cup estimates here.
  • Feel free to use a different cookie for your base if desired. I love Oreos here but a similar style cookie would work the same.
  • Use good quality chocolate for this cheesecake. I use Cadbury White and Milk Chocolate Melts (real chocolate) which are great for cooking. As a general rule of thumb, if you don't like the taste of the chocolate you're using, you won't like it in whatever you're baking.
  • If you're in a pinch, 2 hours should be more than sufficient chilling time but it's best if left overnight (12 hours).
  • Store covered tightly in the fridge for up to 2 days.
