Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 24 Oreo Cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream or heavy cream
Optional Toppings and Mix-ins
- Mini Oreo cookies or chocolate drizzle for garnish
- Mini chocolate chips or cocoa powder (for double chocolate variation)
- Peppermint extract and Mint Oreos (for mint variation)
- Fresh raspberries or strawberries (for fruit-topped bites)
- Peanut butter swirl for nutty twist
- Gluten-free Oreo cookies as a gluten-free option
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of mini muffin tins or silicone molds to form the crust base for the cheesecake bites.
- Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until silky smooth. Stir in sour cream or heavy cream to create a creamy, slightly tangy filling that complements the Oreo crust perfectly.
- Assemble the Bites: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the Oreo crust in the molds, filling each cavity almost to the top. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon for an even finish.
- Chill Until Set: Place the filled molds in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight, allowing the cheesecake to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, add optional toppings such as a mini Oreo cookie or a drizzle of melted chocolate. Remove from molds and enjoy your Oreo Cheesecake Bites.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling without lumps.
- Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when bitten.
- Chill the bites adequately to ensure perfect texture.
- Choose fresh, quality Oreos for the best taste and texture.
- Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or extracts to customize flavor.
