These delicious Mini Oreo Cheesecakes are made with a creamy cheesecake filling and Oreo cookie pieces. Baked in a muffin pan for the perfect dessert. Made with only 5 ingredients and takes less than 30 minutes to make!
Servings: 16 cheesecake bites
Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Crust
- 16 Oreos
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese; softened* (2- 8 ounce packages)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup Large and small Oreo cookie crumbs; chop Oreos with a knife to get both large and small cookie chunks.Reserve a few tablespoons for topping cheesecakes Do not use a food processor as it will turn the cookies into fine crumbs. (about 6 oreos)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a REGULAR cupcake baking pan with 16 paper liners and place one Oreo cookie in each liner. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract with an electric mixer for a 2-3 minutes until smooth. Sprinkle in the Oreo cookie crumbs and fold in with a spatula until combined.
- With a tablespoon, spoon the Oreo cheesecake mixture evenly on top of the Oreo cookies, about two tablespoons of cheesecake batter per cupcake cup. Sprinkle each cheesecake with more Oreo cookie crumbs.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the middles are set. Be sure not to over-bake. Let the cheesecake cool for at least 30 minutes and remove paper wrappers. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It's best to let the cheesecake bites get cold, about 2 hours in the refrigerator. Optional: top with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos!
Notes
- It's extremely important that your cream cheese is softened and at room temperature. If it's not softened, your cheesecake batter will not be smooth.
- Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze your cheesecakes bites by individually wrapping each cheesecake with plastic wrap and then with aluminum foil. Place them in an airtight container. Be sure the cheesecake bites are completely cool before freezing. They will freeze up to 3 months. When ready to eat the frozen cheesecakes bites, simply defrost on the counter for 2-4 hours and enjoy. This is great for individually servings.
