Mini Oreo Cheesecake Ingredients

Mini Oreo Cheesecakes raw ingredients that are labeled

Imagine sinking your teeth into a velvety mini Oreo cheesecake that features a texture like nothing you’ve ever tasted before.

The subtle tang of the cheese balances through the sweetness, while the crunch of the Oreo base provides a satisfying contrast to the creamy goodness above.

To make these delectable treats, you’ll need:

For The Crust:

18 Oreo cookies

For The Filling:

2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
⅔ cups of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ cup of sour cream
2 eggs
6 standard Oreo cookies, finely chopped

For The Whipped Cream Topping:

2 cups of heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons of powdered sugar
18 mini Oreos for decorating (and Oreo crumbs, if desired)

Substitutions And Additions

DAIRY: I highly recommend full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for these little cheesecakes.

I find that the low-fat and no-fat versions do not set up as well due to the lack of fat solids in these ingredients.

They also have a higher water content, which will affect how well the filling sets up.

OREO COOKIES: Don’t limit yourself to classic Oreo cookies.

Try experimenting with different flavors like mint, peanut butter, or golden Oreos to customize the cheesecakes to your taste.

Each variety will bring its unique twist to the dessert, whether it’s a refreshing minty kick or a nutty richness.

WHIPPED CREAM (FOR TOPPING): Instead of regular whipped cream, try coconut whipped cream for a dairy-free and tropical twist.

You can also infuse regular whipped cream with a hint of flavored extract or a touch of espresso for an extra layer of decadence.

How To Make This Mini Oreo Cheesecake Recipe

To make these delightful cheesecakes, you will create three layers.

The first layer features an entire Oreo cookie as the base. Next, the creamy cookie-infused cheesecake filling is added. Finally, a fluffy whipped topping completes the recipe.

Follow our step-by-step instructions to make these Oreo cheesecakes.

STEP ONE: Line a standard muffin pan with 12 paper liners.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 325°F.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cheesecakes at the lower end of the recommended baking time.

STEP TWO: Line standard muffin tins with cupcake liners and place one whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each liner.

PRO TIP:

Parchment or foil-lined cupcake liners are the easiest to peel from the cheesecake filling.

STEP THREE: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

PRO TIP:

Make sure you use room temperature cream cheese, so you don’t end up with lumps in your cheesecake filling.

STEP FOUR: Add sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined.

STEP FIVE: Beat in the sour cream.

STEP SIX: Add one egg at a time and stir by hand until combined.

PRO TIP:

Overbeating the cheesecake will add too much air to the batter, leading to it puffing during baking and then cracking while cooling. I always switch to a spatula and mix the rest by hand once I add the first egg.

STEP SEVEN: Fold in chopped Oreos.

STEP EIGHT: Scoop the cheesecake batter over the Oreo-lined cupcake liners in the muffin pan. Fill each tin almost to the top.

PRO TIP:

You can transfer your Oreo cheesecake mixture into a Ziploc bag. Snip a ¾ to 1-inch piece off one corner and pipe the cheesecake filling into each cup. This makes less of a mess when filling the cheesecake cups.

STEP NINE: Bake for 20 minutes until the cheesecakes are set and dry to the touch on top.

PRO TIP:

I like to add a pan with water to the oven while baking. The pan can go on the rack under the cheesecakes. This makes the oven environment moister and prevents cracking. It also helps to create creamier, smooth cheesecakes.

STEP TEN: Allow cheesecakes to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes), and then place in the refrigerator to chill for one to two hours.

STEP ELEVEN: To make the whipped cream, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

STEP TWELVE: Pipe whipped cream onto the tops of the chilled cheesecakes. Garnish with mini Oreos and chopped Oreo crumbs.

How To Serve

This sweet treat is the perfect size when you are craving a little something sweet but don’t want to have an entire slice of cheesecake.

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to your plate and a drizzle of luscious caramel sauce or silky hot fudge for an extra layer of indulgence.

Create a dessert buffet that’s sure to impress. Arrange these mini cheesecakes alongside a variety of other sweet treats like cookies, brownies, and fruit platters.

If you’re a chocolate enthusiast, indulge your cravings by serving these cheesecakes with a side of hot chocolate.
