Easy Dessert Recipe: Oreo Cheesecake Bites

March 4, 2014 64 Comments

Yesterday I shared a dessert I took to an Oscars Party on Sunday night: my easy recipe for Samoa Brownie Bites, a brownie dessert inspired by those evil Samoa Girl Scout Cookies.   I also brought my Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies and these little gems: bite sized Oreo Cheesecake Bites.

These mini cheesecakes are just the right size and the recipe is so easy and adaptable that you can make any kind of cheesecake you want.

Oreo Cheesecake Bites

This post contains affiliate links.

Seriously, this might be the easiest cheesecake recipe ever.  To make 18 mini cheesecakes you will need:

  • Oreo Cookies (18 whole cookies and about 8 to chop up)
  • two 6 oz boxes of cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup of sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • cupcake liners

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees, place the cupcake liners in muffin tins, then place an Oreo* at the bottom of each one.

Oreo cookie crust for mini cheesecake bites.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth.  Add in the sugar and mix until smooth.  Mix in the beaten eggs and the vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary.  Add in the sour cream and salt.  Mix well.  Carefully spoon batter into lined muffin tins until they are filled about 2/3 of the way.

Coarsely chop Oreos and add to the top of each mini cheesecake.  Bake at 275 for about 20 – 23 minutes until set.  Let cool completely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

To serve, carefully peel off the cupcake liners and arrange on a platter.  Makes 18 mini cheesecakes.

Make mini Oreo Cheesecakes

These little beauties are so, SO good!

Mini Cheesecake bites

By the way, there are lots of variations you can make.

Mini cheesecake bites use cookies as a crust.

Use ‘Nilla Wafers or Vanilla sandwich cookies and mix berries into the batter.  Drizzle with caramel or top with chopped nuts.  This is a one-size-fits-all cheesecake recipe and the most difficult thing about it is waiting for them to set up in the fridge before digging in!

The perfect sized mini cheesecake.

Enjoy!!

    How do you get the oreos to stay on the bottom. Mine kept rising to the top of the mixture

    Reply
    • vivienne says

      September 16, 2014 at 2:44 PM

      Hi Chelley, I don’t know… mine just stayed down. Maybe your batter isn’t thick enough? I’ve never had that happen. (Hope it still tasted good, at least!)

    • Laurie says

      October 18, 2014 at 6:57 PM

      The recipe calls for 18 whole cookies to go in the bottom of the muffin tins so I’d say you would have 18 servings…. unless you’re like me and you eat 2 or 3 yourself which would reduce the number of servings for everyone else… haha!!

    Vivienne… I really just want to say… that your blog has “helped me out” more times than I dare to even count (lol). The recipes that you share with all of us are “right up there” with “the best” (in my opinion anyway), and I feel that many of the DIY projects you post for all of us to see are just so brilliantly mastered!
    So from me personally Vivienne, I would like to say “thank you” for ALL that you do! For all of the hard work that you DO… AND… for all of the TIME that you obviously take TO DO IT ALL!! These are but only a couple of reasons I’m sure as to “why” your blog “IS” one of THE BEST!!

    Enjoy the holidays coming up now. I can only imagine the beautiful things and great ideas that you have in store for us regarding those. Thank you again for everything Vivienne. 🙂

    Hi, I was going to make these for a birthday party for Sunday, would I be able to make them Friday and keep them in the fridge till Sunday? Would they still be just as good? Or should I try and make time to make them closer to Sunday? Thanks!

      Hi Kelly, I haven’t tried making them in advance, but I am sure they would be fine as long as kept refrigerated. Enjoy!

    Should the individual cakes be soupy when I take them out of the oven? Are they supposed to set when they are in the fridge?

    Reply
    • vivienne says

      November 10, 2014 at 1:39 PM

      Lauren, you should bake them 20 to 25 minutes until they are set. They should not be soupy.

    Just found Philadelphia ready to eat cheesecake filling. Gonna try this on top of the Oreo instead of baking. One question tho, does the Oreo become soft during baking? That’s probably better to make it easier to eat.

      Hi Mae, I actually don’t have a recommendation for how much fruit to add. This recipe is super forgiving, so you should be able to play around with it very easily.

    Hi there! I believe someone asked already but I didn’t see an answer yet, but does the oreo cookie on the bottom get softer at all? Thanks! Can’t wait to make these today!

      Hi Deb, I think they get a little bit softer, but there is still some crunch to them. Thanks for reading!

      Hi Vivienne, I’m a little confused, I need to make 60 for my work party, I see where it says 18 whole oreos and 8 chopped up, but this comment says it MAKES about 24? Not 18?
      I’m having a hard time coming up with all the measurements to make 60.

    • Vivienne says

      December 17, 2015 at 1:07 PM

      It makes 18. 24 is incorrect. Thanks for catching that.

    Reply
    • Vivienne says

      November 27, 2015 at 8:14 PM

      Probably not, since you need to put the Oreo in the bottom of the cup…

      I Have definiTely made cheesecake minis with mini nilla wafers, so i would say, you most Definitely be able to use mini oreos. I’m getting ready to maKe them with minis right now.

  23. Chantal Shattuck says

    December 17, 2015 at 12:39 PM

    I feel kind of silkly for asking this, but I am having a a hard time calcuting how much of everything I will need to make 60 of these for my work party.
    I have the oreos figured out, but I’m not too good with measurements, I am horrible at following directions, I like mixing things up.

    HI. THANKS FOR THE GREAT recipe. DOES IT MATTER IF THE OREOS are ORIGINAL OR DOUBLE stuffed? ALSO.. DID YOU USE REGULAR 12 space MUFFIN PANs AND ONLY FILL THE SECOND PAN WITH HALF TO COME OUT WITH A TOTAL OF 18? MERRY CHRISTMAS.
