Tips & Tricks

<p>Our No Bake Oreo Cheesecake recipe is simple to make and simply delicious. No oven required; you can whip up the creamy Oreo filling and crunchy biscuit base in next to no time; the hardest part is resisting the urge to eat it all.</p>
<h3><strong>Is no bake cheesecake better than baked cheesecake?</strong></h3>
<p>This comes down to your personal preference. The beauty of no bake cheesecakes is that you don’t need an oven, just a fridge to chill or set your cheesecake. No bake cheesecake recipes can be a little less technical and quicker to make than a baked cheesecake. The consistency of both can differ too; with no-bake cheesecakes being light and airy, and the baked versions being a little denser, but rich and velvety.&nbsp;See our full collection of <a href="https://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/collections/no-bakes">no bake recipes</a> here.</p>
<h3><strong>How to make sure your no bake cheesecake filling turns out firm</strong></h3>
<p>If your no bake Oreo cheesecake is too runny, you may need to leave it longer to set. To create a thick, velvety filling, ensure that you beat the whipping cream to a stiff peak consistency. This means that when the whisk is removed the cream should stand upright, forming a peak on top. If the peak droops, this is soft peak stage and your cream will need to be whipped a little bit longer. Take care not to over-beat your cream cheese, as this can cause it to separate and produce a runnier cheesecake consistency.</p>
<h3><strong>How to ensure your no bake cheesecake base remains crisp</strong></h3>
<p>When making your no bake cheesecake base, you should be sure to chill the crumb crust for at least 10 minutes to help it solidify and prevent it from turning soggy. You should also be sure to use a higher ratio of butter to crumbs for a no-bake base, as this will result in a sturdier base when refrigerated.</p>

<p>This velvety, smooth, citrussy orange curd makes a nice change from lemon curd. Spread it on freshly-baked bread or use it as a filling for a Victoria sponge cake.</p>
<h3>Is orange curd the same as marmalade?</h3>
<p>Orange curd and marmalade both share a distinctive orangey taste, and they're delicious on hot buttered toast - but that's where their similarities end.</p>
<p>Orange curd is a thick, creamy-looking spread which contains eggs and butter, and it's got a similar texture to custard. <a href="https://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/shredless-marmalade">Marmalade</a>, on the other hand, is a preserve made with sugar, water and lemons, and its end result is similar to a jelly or a jam. Marmalade also has a brighter, more intense citrus flavour with a balance of sweet and bitter notes from the citrus peel.</p>
