Substitutions and Variations
The flexibility of this sugar-free Oreo cheesecake recipe allows for substitutions and variations to make it even more unique and delicious.
For a lower calorie option, substitute heavy whipping cream with fat-free or low-fat yogurt, or use reduced-fat cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese. Additionally, you can opt for a dairy-free version by using non-dairy cream cheese and coconut whipped cream instead of heavy whipping cream.
To add a bit of crunch to your cheesecake bites, try making an Oreo crust with gluten-free or almond flour cookies. Or, if you prefer a chocolatey flavor, swap the vanilla extract with cocoa powder or melted sugar-free chocolate chips.
If you want to switch up the texture of your cheesecake, try making mini cheesecakes using muffin tins or baking the cheesecake as bars in a square baking pan. You can also try adding in mix-ins like diced strawberries, blueberries, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
For our vegan friends out there, use vegan Oreo cookies instead of traditional Oreos and swap out the eggs for a flax egg alternative.

Serve your cheesecake chilled or at room temperature for optimal flavor. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies to give your slice an extra richness and crunchiness.
Pair your Oreo Cheesecake with a steaming cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness of the dessert. Alternatively, add a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream for a luscious, cooling contrast.
For an even more indulgent treat, try serving these cheesecake bites alongside a glass of red zinfandel wine. The wine’s fruity aroma and bold tannins perfectly complement the richness of the dessert.
No matter how you choose to serve your Oreo Cheesecake, be prepared for all eyes to be on it as soon as it hits the table. Its decadent aroma and luxurious flavors make it the perfect treat for any occasion.
Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
Ah, the age old question of what to do with leftover cheesecake. Fear not, because I have the answers on how to store and reheat your sugar-free Oreo cheesecake.
Firstly, if you want to make ahead, this recipe works perfectly for that. You can make it up to two days before you plan on serving it. Just be sure to refrigerate it immediately after baking and allow enough time for it to cool completely before covering it with plastic wrap or foil.
Now, let’s talk about storing. If there happens to be any cheesecake left over (which is unlikely), you can keep it fresh for up to 5 days by storing it in the refrigerator covered in plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
When it’s time to reheat your scrumptious dessert, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Take the cheesecake out of the fridge and allow it to come up to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Next, remove the plastic wrap or foil and place the cheesecake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place it in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until slightly warm.
But wait, there’s more! You can also freeze your sugar-free Oreo cheesecake for up to 2 months in an airtight container. When ready to serve, simply take out of the freezer and let sit at room temperature until thawed completely before reheating.
So there you have it, folks! Perfect instructions on how to make-ahead, store, and reheat your keto-friendly Oreo cheesecake.
Tips for Perfect Results
If you are preparing Oreo Cheesecake, and want to make sure your dessert comes out just right, here are a few tips to ensure perfect results every time.
Firstly, for the crust, make sure to use sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies or gluten-free sandwich cookies that mimic Oreos. To help the crust hold together better, combine the crushed cookies with melted butter or coconut oil before pressing them into the bottom of the cheesecake pan.
Secondly, when making the filling, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This will prevent lumps from forming in the filling, and ensures ingredients mix together smoothly.
Thirdly, remember to beat softened cream cheese until it is completely smooth and creamy before adding any additional ingredients. This can be done by using an electric mixer or stand mixer at medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes.
Fourthly, when integrating Splenda sugar substitute into the filling mixture, stir in it gradually and taste as you go to ensure sweetness suits your taste preferences.
Fifthly, remember to mix one ingredient at a time into the filling mixture. Beating too many ingredients at once can cause them not to mix evenly and lead to lumpy cheesecake texture issues.
Sixthly, use a water bath when baking your cheesecake. This prevents cracking of the top of the cake as well as ensuring even baking throughout.
Seventhly, avoid opening the oven door during baking which also helps prevent cracks.
Lastly, allow your cheesecake to cool fully before slicing or serving (or putting it in a fridge). Letting refrigerate for two hours or more will help chill and set up cheesecake so that each bite melts deliciously in your mouth!

Oreo Cheesecake - Sugar Free Recipe
Ingredients
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- 24 ounces sugar free Oreo cookies (2 packages) or 24 ounces murray's sugar free chocolate sandwich style cookies, divided (2 packages)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 32 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened (4 - 8oz packages)
- 1 1/4 cups Splenda sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with the cooking spray. Wrap in aluminum foil so that the butter doesn't seep out and burn in the oven and place on a baking sheet. Set aside.
- Finely crush 1 1/2 pkgs of the Oreo cookies (or 1 pkg of the Murray's) and place in a medium bowl along with the melted butter. Mix well and press into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until crispy to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl whip the softened cream cheese just until smooth. Beat in the Splenda, vanilla, sour cream, and whipping cream just until blended. One at a time, beat in eggs just until incorporated. Coarsely chop remaining cookies and gently fold into cheese mixture. Pour into cooled crust. Bake for one hour, loosely covering with foil after 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the cake, but do not remove the sides of the pan. Allow to cool completely. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill overnight or at least 5 hours. Remove sides of pan and slice. (Cheesecakes will be creamy, soft for the first few hours, and will become more dense and cakey the longer they are allowed to chill. They really do get better as they sit and rest)!
