Ingredient Notes
- Oreos – I love the buttery sweetness from the golden Oreos in the crust, but you could also use a regular graham cracker crust or make a crust with Nilla wafers or regular chocolate Oreos.
- Cream Cheese – Make sure to use the full fat variety and let it soften on the counter for a few minutes so it’s easier to blend. Also, be sure to use the block cream cheese, not the kind in the tub.
- Heavy Whipping Cream – The heavy cream should be kept COLD in the fridge until you’re ready to add it to your mixing bowl.
- Yellow Cake Mix – For safety concerns, you may want to heat treat the cake mix, using our guide on how to heat treat flour. It only takes 5 minutes!
- White Chocolate – Use a good quality white chocolate for the best taste.
- Cool Whip – The whipped topping is added to the cream cheese for a lighter cheesecake consistency. My homemade Stabilized Whipped Cream works if you don’t want to use the store bought stuff!
- Sprinkles – I recommend using rainbow nonpareils or jimmies to keep the colors from melting in the cheesecake.
Easy Instructions
STEP 1. Make the crust. Process the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs in a food processor then stream in the melted butter until the crumbs are well coated. Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and place the crust in the freezer.
STEP 2. Make the filling. Blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in the cake mix, then add in the melted white chocolate and mix until the filling is thick and smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip, then add the sprinkles and stir until they are evenly distributed.
PRO TIP: Use the least number of strokes possible to stir in sprinkles. The more you stir, the higher chance they will “bleed” colors.
STEP 3. Assemble and chill. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cookie crumb crust and smooth it out evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours; overnight is best.
STEP 4. SERVE. Slice, serve and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- Freeze the crust while you make the filling. The freezing helps the crust firm up so it won’t become mushy when you add the cheesecake filling on top.
- Use softened, room temperature cream cheese for the creamiest, smoothest filling. Use our tips and tricks on how to soften butter for best results.
- Be sure to chill for at least 4 hours so you can easily slice the cheesecake. Overnight is really best if you have the time!
- Toppings: Add some extra whipped cream and sprinkles to the top of the cheesecake for a fun presentation!
RECIPE TIP: Our lemon whipped cream pairs beautifully with this delicious no bake treat.

I am happy to see the cake mix being heat treated! There have been too many episodes of bacteria in flour now to be safe. I will be making this as soon as I get some cream cheese. It looks delicious.
Thank you, enjoy!
