Instructions
How to Make Homemade Strawberry Syrup
Start by removing the stems of the strawberries and then rinse them thoroughly.
Next, place them into a food processor and pulse them about 5 times for a few seconds each pulse. Keep in mind that the strawberries need to be a little chunky, not pureed. Transfer the processed strawberries to a small pot.
Add sugar and gelatin (or agar-agar), place it on a stovetop, and bring it to a boil, stirring it constantly until the sugar melts.
Reduce the cooking temperature to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
After the syrup is done simmering, remove it from the heat and let cool completely before adding it to the cream.
How to Make Cheesecake Oreo Crust
Place Oreo cookies into the food processor and process them for a minute or until they're all crushed. Next, add softened butter and process it for another minute or until everything is combined.
Grease a 9-inch round springform pan with butter, and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
Transfer the crushed buttery Oreo crumbs into the prepared pan using a measuring cup and press the crumbs evenly and firmly. Refrigerate the crust until ready to use.
How to Make Cheesecake Filling
Beat softened cream cheese and sugar on high mixing speed until well combined. Scrape the sides and the bottom of the mixer bowl and mix it well again for about a minute.
Reduce the speed to medium and add cold heavy whipping cream, one cup at a time. Scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl with a silicone spatula and then beat the cream on high for a minute. Make sure not to overbeat it.
With the mixer speed running on low speed, add cold strawberry syrup and mix for 30 seconds.
Then scrape the cream off the sides and the bottom of the mixer bowl using a silicon spatula and beat once more on high for 30 seconds once more. Make sure all the cream and the syrup are combined.
How to Assemble Oreo Strawberry Cheesecake
Time to assemble our delicious no bake Oreo strawberry cheesecake!
Transfer the cheesecake batter into the Oreo crust springform prepared earlier. Even out the top of the cheesecake using a spatula. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Then gently remove the ring of the springform. Personally, I heat the sides of the springform with a torch a bit before removing it, or you can run a very thin knife between the cheesecake and the pan.
Pipe the cream and garnish with fresh strawberries, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
To get beautiful and clean slices of cheesecake, warm the knife in hot water and wipe between each slice. It takes a little more time but is worth preventing a sticky mess. I hope you find this tip helpful with slicing all of your cakes.
