Oreo Cheesecake Bites
These Oreo Cheesecake Bites are creamy, bite-sized cheesecakes baked on top of an Oreo crust — the perfect quick dessert with just 5 ingredients.
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 16 whole Oreo cookies
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened (two 8-ounce packages)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup roughly chopped Oreos about 6 cookies, broken by hand or with a knife — do not blend to dust
- reserve a few tablespoons of these crumbs for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a regular muffin pan with 16 paper liners. Place one whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each liner — these will act as the crust.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes until perfectly smooth and creamy.
- Add in the chopped Oreo pieces and gently fold them into the batter with a spatula until just combined.
Step 3: Fill and Bake
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, spoon about two tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture on top of each Oreo in the liners.
- Sprinkle a bit of the reserved Oreo crumbs on top of each mini cheesecake for a decorative finish.
- Bake the cheesecakes in your preheated oven for 14–16 minutes, or until the middles are set but not overbaked. They should be slightly jiggly in the center but firm at the edges.
Step 4: Cool and Chill
- Allow the cheesecakes to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Then carefully remove them from the paper wrappers and transfer to a plate or airtight container.
- For the best texture and flavor, chill the Oreo Cheesecake Bites in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving.
