No Bake Mint Oreo Cheesecake

No Bake Mint Oreo Cheesecake ~ Oreo crust piled with light and fluffy cheesecake flavored with mint and topped with crushed Oreos and chocolate syrup!

So it may have been Thanksgiving at my parents when I made this recipe.

Don’t fret. I made a pumpkin dessert for everyone also, but there are only so many desserts I can keep in my house at one time, so this one was brought to Thanksgiving also.

Want to know something else? Well, other than the fact that I serve Mint on Thanksgiving… and will probably be serving Red Velvet on Christmas in preparation for Valentine’s Day. I guess that one kind of works!

The other thing is I’m afraid of cheesecake. So terrified. I look at pictures and marvel over the beauty of other bloggers cheesecakes. I wonder how they manage to perfect the cheesecake. Then I dream about the smooth, creamy bites of cheesecake. Then I drool a little….

MY OTHER RECIPES

The thing is…my cheesecakes always cracks. One smart blogger once told me that’s why I she makes sure there is a topping on her cheesecake. It hides all the imperfections. I might say she is one brilliant lady because her cheesecakes are the ones I’m usually drooling over!

I haven’t exactly got over my fear as of right now, someday I’ll attempt a big gorgeous cheesecake when I have ample amount of time aka check back in about twenty years and maybe my life has slown down a little! In the meantime I’ll go about my business make these light, fluffy, yummy cheesecakes like this Mint Oreo Cheesecake that don’t require baking and require minimal amount of time but yet I got rave reviews!
