The Best Oreo Cheesecake Bites 🍪🍰

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 16 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 6-8 Oreo cookies, chopped into small pieces (for mixing into the cheesecake)

For topping:

  • 8-10 Oreo cookies, crushed (for garnishing the bites)

Instructions:

Prepare the crust:

  1. Prepare the pan: Line a mini muffin tin or a regular muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Crush the Oreos: In a food processor, pulse 16 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
  3. Mix the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter and stir until fully combined.
  4. Press into the pan: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture into each muffin cup and press down firmly to create a crust layer. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Prepare the cheesecake filling:

  1. Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and sour cream, and continue to beat until combined.
  2. Add the whipped topping: Fold in the whipped topping gently until smooth. Stir in the chopped Oreos for a delicious mix-in.
  3. Fill the cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the Oreo crusts in the muffin tin, dividing evenly among the cups. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Chill:

  1. Chill the bites: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight, until the cheesecake bites are firm and fully set.

Serve:

  1. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies on top of each cheesecake bite for an extra burst of Oreo flavor and texture.
  2. Enjoy: Pop one of these bite-sized cheesecakes in your mouth and savor the delicious combination of creamy cheesecake and crunchy Oreo!

Tips:

  • Make ahead: These Oreo cheesecake bites are perfect for making ahead of time. Just keep them chilled in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
  • For extra crunch: If you love extra Oreo crunch, you can add more chopped Oreos to the cheesecake filling or even into the crust.
  • Storage: Store these bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
