Gluten Free No Bake Cheesecake
My parents are my biggest supporters and couldn’t wait to test my recipes when they came to visit. My mom and I were driving home from the beach when she asked if I could make a cheesecake. I told her I was out of gluten free graham crackers, but I had just bought a new package of Gluten Free Oreos that I could use for the crust, and we both got really excited about this gluten free no bake cheesecake recipe I was about to whip up!
So when we got home, I placed two 8 ounce blocks of 1/3 less fat cream cheese onto the counter to soften for an hour, and then I gathered the rest of the ingredients I would need to make the cheesecake. I gathered heavy cream, honey, maple syrup, Gluten Free Oreos, and butter. That’s, it! The cheesecake filling itself is actually on the healthier side and you could easily eat it as a delicious cheesecake mousse topped with almond and pecans! So let’s get to the how-to section of this recipe!
What ingredients you need to make gluten free cheesecake:
- 28 Gluten Free Oreos
- 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
- 2 8 ounce blocks 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 cups heavy cream, cold
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
How to make gluten free no bake cheesecake:
To make the gluten free Oreo pie crust, place the Oreos in your food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are formed and there are no longer any large pieces of cookie. Also, I want to mention that Double Stuff Oreos should not be used here because we want the cookie and not so much of the cream.
In a microwave safe mug, melt the butter for 45 seconds in the microwave until has completely melted.
Add the Oreo crumbs and the melted butter to a 8 or 9 inch pie pan and mixed together with a fork.
Using the bottom of a glass, press down on the crust to level it out and push it to the side of the pie pan.
Set the crust in the fridge while you make the cheesecake filling. Start by placing cold heavy cream and maple syrup in bowl of your mixer and use a whisk attachment to make whipped cream. Whip on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes, until stiff peaks form. Set whipped cream aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, add cream cheese and honey. Using a paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese and honey together on medium speed until smooth.
Add the whipped cream to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Mix together by hand, folding the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until everything is incorporated and smooth.
Spread the cheesecake filling over the the cookie crust and smooth out with a silicone spatula or the back of a spoon.
Place cheesecake in refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. The longer it sits in the fridge, the firmer it gets!
Notes:
- This cheesecake filling can be used with any crust you like
- Cover leftovers and store in fridge for up to 3 days
- The longer you allow the cheesecake to set in the fridge, the firmer it will get
- You can use one regular size tub of Cool Whip in place of heavy cream and maple syrup
- Makes 8 servings
