Tips For The Best No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

• Do not remove the Oreo filling for the crust or cheesecake filling.  It adds luscious Oreo flavor and the filling helps hold the Oreo crust together.
• Use the bottom of a measuring cup or drinking glass to press the Oreo crust.  The crust will be firmer and more consistent. 
• Use softened – room temperature cream cheese. Trying to whip cold cream cheese can cause lumps in your filling.
• Use brick-style cream cheese and not the whipped variety in a tub.  Using brick-style cream cheese will help your cheesecake set properly. 
• Use full fat cream cheese.  Using low-fat cream cheese can result in a runny cheesecake with  less flavor.  The fat helps the cheesecake hold its shape and consistency.
• Mix the sugar and cream cheese well. Not mixing these well can result in a grainy texture.
