The idea of a no-bake Oreo cheesecake is especially appealing in the summer months because there is no hot oven and no messy water bath. Gelatin-based cheesecakes are easy to prepare, but their texture is never quite as creamy as that of an egg-thickened baked cheesecake. We set out to create an icebox Oreo cheesecake that would rival the best baked cheesecake for flavor and texture.
With our test kitchen know-how (and relentless testing) we found ways to make naturally fast dishes faster, and traditionally slow-cooked dinners a weeknight option. But one thing we never did was settle on shortcuts that shortchanged flavor.
super idea!!!!
