Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, pulse 24 Oreo cookies until finely crushed. Add the melted butter and pulse a few times until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed.
- Form the Crusts: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Press about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture into the bottom of each liner, creating an even crust base. Place the tin in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted.
- Combine Filling and Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until homogenous and fluffy. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Add Crushed Oreos: Fold in the 12 crushed Oreo cookies evenly throughout the filling mixture.
- Assemble Cheesecake Bites: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared Oreo crusts in the mini muffin tin, smoothing the tops with a spatula for an even finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 4 hours or until the filling is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once set, remove the bites from the muffin tin, peel off the paper liners, and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- This recipe requires at least 4 hours of chilling time, so prepare ahead.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling and easier mixing.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with appropriate alternatives, but texture may vary.
- Mini muffin tins and liners are essential to keep these bites perfectly shaped and easy to serve.
- For extra decoration, sprinkle crushed Oreos or drizzle melted chocolate over the top before chilling.
