Oreo Cheesecake Bites Ingredients

Oreo Cheesecake Bites raw ingredients that are labeled

Cream cheese forms the velvety base of the filling, delivering a rich, creamy texture we adore. Sour cream adds a tangy richness, perfectly offsetting the sweetness of the dessert.

Oreo cookies pull double duty, serving as the crust while infusing a delightful crunch into the filling.

Together, these components create a combination of flavors and textures that make these bites truly irresistible.

You’ll need:

For The Filling:

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

For The Crust:

25 Oreo cookies
4 tablespoons of melted butter

For The Topping:

½ cup of heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
25 mini Oreos for decorating (and Oreo crumbs, if desired)

Substitutions and Additions

GRANULATED SUGAR: Experiment with brown sugar for a slightly caramelized flavor or a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie version.

SOUR CREAM: Swap it with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.

OREO COOKIES: While Oreos are iconic, you can switch to your favorite cookies to create unique flavor combinations in this mini cheesecake recipe.

CRUST: You can substitute a graham cracker crust for the Oreo cookie crust.

How To Make This Oreo Cheesecake Bites Recipe

To make these mini Oreo cheesecakes, the first step is to make the cookie crust before topping it with the cheesecake filling and baking.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature so you don’t end up with lumps in the cream cheese mixture.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 325°F.

PRO TIP:

For the smoothest cheesecake and the least likelihood of it cracking, place a pan of water on the rack underneath the pan while they’re baking.

STEP TWO: Line an 8×8 square baking pan with a parchment paper overhang.

STEP THREE: In a large mixing bowl, beat room temperature cream cheese until smooth and fluffy with an electric mixer.

STEP FOUR: Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract and beat until fully combined.

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

PRO TIP:

Overbeating the cheesecake batter 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 SIX: Fold in the chopped Oreos.

STEP SEVEN: In the bowl of a food processor, blitz the Oreo cookies until broken down into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and run the food processor until combined.

STEP EIGHT: Press the Oreo cookie crumbs into an even layer in the base of the prepared pan.

STEP NINE: Spread the cheesecake mixture over the cookie crumb base.

STEP TEN: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center of the cheesecake is just set and looks dry across the top.

It will change from a wet sheen to more of a matte finish across the top. The cheesecake will still be slightly wobbly in the center.

STEP ELEVEN: Allow cheesecake to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes), then place in the refrigerator to chill for at least four hours or overnight.

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

STEP THIRTEEN: After the cheesecake is fully chilled, lift by the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Cut the cheesecake into 1-1½ inch squares.

STEP FOURTEEN: Pipe whipped cream onto the tops of each cheesecake square and top with a mini Oreo cookie.

PRO TIP:

You can leave the cheesecake bites plain on top or use squirt whipped cream for easy serving.
