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 melted butter and pulse until the mixture is evenly combined. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Press about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture into the bottom of each liner, forming an even crust layer. Place the tin in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain a light texture. Then carefully fold in the 12 crushed Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the filling.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Bites: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crusts in the mini muffin tin. Use a spatula to smooth out the tops for an even finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake bites for at least 4 hours to allow them to set properly and achieve the best texture.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove each cheesecake bite from the mini muffin tin and peel off the paper liners. Serve chilled for a refreshing, creamy dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- For a stronger Oreo flavor, you can pulse the crushed cookies slightly coarser when folding into the filling.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer, use gluten-free Oreo alternatives to make this recipe gluten-free.
- For easier removal, lightly grease the paper liners or use silicone mini muffin cups.
