Ahhh no bake desserts…how I love thee. Let me count the ways. I mean what’s not to love of a dessert that doesn’t require you to ever turn the oven on? Especially in summer!
I whipped up this no bake dessert with Oreos. Red Velvet Oreos to be specific. Oh my goodness, have you gotten a hold of these yet? OMG my friends. First of all, I love me anything Red Velvet. Red velvet cupcakes. Red velvet layer cake. Red velvet bars with Oreos. Heck, I’ve even made red velvet donuts. I seriously can’t get enough.
How To Make This No Bake Red Velvet Cheesecake
I used a 9-inch springform pan for this cake to be able to release the sides of the cake easily.
Pro Tip: You want to be sure to line the sides of your pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap to be sure the sides don’t stick.
Then make the mousse layers- they are a red velvet cheesecake mousse and a white chocolate mousse layer. The mousse layer begins with softened cream cheese lightened up with a homemade whipped cream.
To Make The Mousse Layers:
To make the mousse, beat the cream cheese and sugar for together in a large mixer bowl until smooth. Add the milk and beat until smooth. Set cream cheese mixture aside and make whipped cream.
Whip the 2 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream on high with a mixer until it begins to thicken. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and continue to whip on high until stiff peaks form.
Carefully fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cream cheesecake mixture until combined. Add the remaining whipped cream and fold mixtures together until well combined.
Divide the mousse into two bowls. You’ll want twice the amount in one bowl as the other. You should have about 2 1/3 cups in one bowl and the rest in another.
Add the cocoa powder and red food coloring to the bowl with the larger amount of mousse and combine.
Add the slightly cooled white chocolate to the smaller amount and combine.
How To Assemble This No Bake Red Velvet Cheesecake:
You want to refrigerate cake until firm, 4-5 hours. Once firm, remove icebox cake from pan.
To make the whipped cream for topping:
To make whipped cream for topping, whip heavy whipping cream on high until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whip on high until stiff peaks form.
Spread a layer of whipped cream on top and then pipe the whipped cream around the top edge of the cake.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with additional red velvet Oreo crumbs.
Do I Have To Use Red Velvet Oreos?
Absolutely not!
In fact, a reader made the recipe and she said she couldn’t find the red velvet oreos so improvised with using regular Oreos. She said the cake was delicious and her co-workers gobbled it up!

Oh my goodness! My two favorite desserts rolled into one. Incredible!
Thank you, it is a delicious flavor combination!
Omg that looks absolutely mouthwatering! I LOVE oreos and I LOVE red velvet so that sounds like pure heaven!
This looks like the perfect party dessert!
Thanks!!
This cake looks divine. I think I am going to make it this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!
Utter heaven on a plate, this! I’m afraid that if I started eating this I wouldn’t be able to stop! Beautiful!
This looks absolutely incredible! I’m not a huge Oreo fan (don’t judge) but I’d definitely like to try this.
This is going to be the kids favorite new recipe to make. I wonder how many oreos will slip into their moths before they get soaked in the milk? lol
Oh I know I couldn’t help but sneaking a few myself while making this! Enjoy 🙂
Oh goodness — this looks so tasty! I think my husband would eat the whole thing!
Not going to lie to you it was hard to put the fork down!
I made this with peanut butter oreos because there were no red velvet available. My coworkers agreed that it was delicious with the pb ones! I would make this again.
Beth I am so happy you tried my recipe!! And peanut butter..I might have to steal that idea 😉
No bake treats are my favorite especially during the summer! This icebox cake looks amazing! Love the red velvet oreos!
Thanks Kelly! Me too. Turning the oven on during the summer is something I try to avoid if possible! And I have to admit the first package of Oreos may have been used for taste testing 😉
