This delicious no-bake cheesecake topped with a chocolate werewolf is a perfect dessert for a Halloween party or a Harry Potter party. This werewolf cheesecake is easy to make and looks great.
In recently made an OREO Cheese Ball Rat by combining Oreo cookie crumbs and cream cheese and was curious to see if this combination would work as a no-bake cheesecake crust.
Indeed it did, and it is really yummy. This crust tastes a bit like a brownie but only requires two ingredients.
This no-bake Halloween cheesecake with an OREO Cookie dough crust is super easy to make. The most challenging part of this recipe is cutting out the werewolf image, and I've provided you with a template, so it's super easy.
Template
Click the link to get the printable Werewolf Template.
I chose to use the Werewolf image that I use for my Werewolf Won-ton recipe in my cookbook, Hungry Halloween.
You will need to increase the size of the image, as it is sized to fit the won tons. All of the templates used in my book and this blog are listed with links on the right-hand column of this page.
Ingredients
Oreo Cookies
Philadelphia Cream Cheese
marshmallow fluff
vanilla
Cool Whip (whipped topping)
Supplies
Food Processor
8" spring form pan
offset spatula
werewolf template
Instructions
Pour the Oreo Cookies into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.
Add 8 ounces of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and pulse until the mixture is fully combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Sprinkle a small amount of cocoa powder on your work surface. Roll about ⅔ cup of this cookie/cream cheese mixture out to about ¼" thickness.
Copy the werewolf template, using the link above, and increase the size to 5" tall. Print onto paper. Cut out your paper image.
Lay your paper template over the rolled-out dough.
Use a small sharp knife to cut around the image. Remove excess dough.
Press all of the remaining cookie/cream cheese mixture into the bottom of an 8" spring form pan.
Beat together 8 ounces of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Add Cool Whip and beat until combined. Pour over the crust. Smooth out the surface using an offset spatula.
Carefully lay the cookie/cream cheese werewolf image over the cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
To cut neatly dip your knife in hot water, dry, then cut. Repeat for each slice.
