No Bake Oreo Lemon Cheesecake
I have finally conquered making my first real lemon cheesecake. Yes, I have put it off because these larger cheesecakes have always felt so intimidating. After making my No Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake last week, I feel like I can tackle the world of cheesecakes, ha ha.

Today is Cierra’s birthday and we had some guests over for a small get together yesterday. She never requests a simple birthday cake. She is a cheesecake fan and she refuses to have a basic cake. I wasn’t sure if I could tackle the right lemon flavors that she was wanting in her cheesecake. I actually considered ordering her a lemon cheesecake.
I am so happy I decided to make her cheesecake at home. It was super simple and I think I got the flavors to work just right.
The lemon flavor is not overwhelming. She loved it and so did our guests. Cierra actually gave me a pat on the back and told me to conquer more of my cheesecake fears, ha ha. I think she is just pumping me up a bit more to make her more cheesecake. This girl just can’t get enough.
I was really amazed how easy these no bake cheesecakes are. You can make this No Bake Oreo Lemon Cheesecake in a large spring-form pan or in a regular pie dish. I really like the height that the spring-form pan gives these cheesecakes.
To make this No Bake Oreo Lemon Cheesecake, you will need lemon Oreos. They can be found in most grocery stores. You will also need lemon Jell-O, heavy cream, cream cheese, lemon, and a few other items from your kitchen.

Crust:
22 Lemon Oreo Cookies
3 tbsp melted Butter
1 tbsp Sugar
Filling:
16 oz softened Cream Cheese
16 oz Heavy Cream
1 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

DIRECTIONS
Crush Oreos in food processor and add melted butter and sugar.
Press mixture into bottom and partway up sides of spring-form pan.

Beat cream cheese, lemon juice and sugar until well mixed. Set aside.
In another bowl, add 1 cup of boiling water to gelatin and stir to dissolve.
Set aside to cool.
