Yummy Chocolate No Bake Cheesecake - with an Oreo biscuit base, perfect for any night of the week.
No Bake Cheesecake
This is delicious and decadent for when you fancy a treat, super easy to make too and doesn’t require any baking. Just choose your flavouring, mix the ingredients together, choose your yummy biscuit base, let it set for a few minutes in the fridge and it's done.
A delicious dessert for you to enjoy as a treat.
Quark for Cheesecakes
Most are put off using quark in recipes as it's quite sour tasting and not pleasant to some on it's own. You will see it in a lot of low calorie savoury dishes as a replacement for cream and it's really is not a great substitute for those as it tastes in no way creamy.
However in a cheesecake if you flavour it correctly it can have the same consistency of cream cheese, so is a great alternative for a lower calorie dessert.
Best Granulated Sweetener for Desserts
When it comes to sweetener things I mostly just choose to use some calories on honey, maple syrup or brown sugar.
However sometimes you need to bring the calories down quite a bit and when I feel I can do it without affecting the taste I will opt for some granulated sweetener. There is only one type I will use though and that is Erythritol. It is naturally derived, doesn't have that strong aftertaste and can be used like for like with sugar so it's a great swap occasionally.
Be careful when using other sweeteners as not all are equal, some you will need to use more, some less, so always check the packaging for the sugar to sweetenerr ratio.
Sweet Freedom Choc Shot
Sweet freedom has a great selection of low calories syrups which are 100% natural and add a great flavour to a variety of things from oatmeal, to pancakes etc. They do various flavours of chocolate, as well as some fruit syrup which is a great replacement for golden syrup or honey and them some chocolate spreads also.

For this Chocolate No Bake Cheesecake, I used the Choc Shot Original, but any of the flavours would work.
To make the cheesecake I use a small springform pan (no bigger than 4cm) it just makes it easier to plate the cheesecake when ready. But if you are happy to just eat it from a dish, you can layer it in a similar size dish.
Mmmmmm now just look at that Oreo Chocolate Crumb base!!!
Don't like Oreo cookies? switch this up by using another biscuit/cookie of choice, just ensure you adjust the values to the one you choose to use.

Chocolate Cheesecake
Yummy Chocolate No Bake Cheesecake - with an Oreo biscuit base, perfect for any night of the week.
Ingredients
- 2 Oreo cookies
- ½ cup (8 tablespoons) of quark
- 4 teaspoons of Sweet Freedom Choc Shot (or swap for a low calorie chocolate syrup)
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sweetener (I use erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Spray oil
Instructions
- Pull apart the Oreos and scrape off the cream filling, set the Oreo biscuits part to the side and add the cream filling to a bowl with the quark, sweetener, vanilla extract and 3 teaspoons of Sweet Freedom Choc Shot
- Mix until all combined.
- Place the Oreo biscuit part in a ziplock bag and bash until crushed.
- Sprinkle this into the bottom of a mini springform pan (no wider than 10cm (or can use a small dish), spray with a little spray oil and then roughly flatten into the base of the pan.
- Spoon in the quark mixture, smooth over the top and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- When ready to serve, carefully release from the spring form pan, and using a spatula carefully slide onto a plate. Drizzle over the top with the remaining teaspoons of Choc Shot.
- Enjoy!!

where are you getting the Quark from in Ontario as I have never seen it in any stores
Hi Gail - Most loblaws stores should carry it. It is by the liberte brand. http://www.liberte.ca/en/products/quark-cheese - If you can't find it in store, try speaking to the store manager to see if they can order you some in. Hope that helps 🙂
These were delicious thank you for the recipe!
I made these today - they're yummy! It was my first time using quark - I was a bit scared of it(!) - I'll def have to get some more. Really enjoyed discovering your website today, I'll be sure to make more recipes from it again soon. 🙂
What base can you recommend instead of Oreo's. I hate them!
hi Janet - any biscuit of a similar syn value should work, you could either use a crumbled cereal bar if you prefer 🙂
great recipe though how do you make just 2 small oreo biscuits enough for the bottom of a cheesecake? it looks pretty thick for just 4 small oreo rounds
for other cheesecakes I make I got to out local£1 shop as they sell sugar free digestives they have hardly any sat fat in too I think its 0.2g zero sugar they taste better then big branded digestive biscuits
It's a single serve cheesecake, the Oreos are plenty for the base 🙂 - but feel free to sub with another biscuit of choice.
Love the recipe but not a fan of quarks. Can you suggest something to replace it with please? Xx
You could use greek yoghurt, but won't quite get the same result.
Can you use low fat cream cheese instead of quark?
sure, just remember you will need to syn the cream cheese.
Can you use vanilla quark or just plain?
