    Werewolf Cheesecake

    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.

    no-bake werewolf cheesecake.

    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.

    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

    cream cheese and crushed OREO cookies.

    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.

    rolling out OREO Cookie dough.

    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.

    werewolf template

    Copy the werewolf template, using the link above, and increase the size to 5" tall. Print onto paper. Cut out your paper image.
