Why You’ll Love These Oreo Cheesecake Bites
Oh my goodness. I love cheesecake. And Oreos. Not to mention sugar!
Still, everything in moderation, right? That’s why I came up with this mini Oreo cheesecake recipe.
I have already shared a No Bake Oreo Cheesecake recipe. While that dessert is great when you don’t want to turn on your oven, these Oreo Cheesecake bites have an even more authentic cheesecake taste.
Here’s why you’re going to flip for this recipe:
- Oreo cookies replace the traditional graham cracker crust and add a yummy chocolate crunch to the rich, creamy cheesecake.
- You can serve up these small cheesecake bites for a fun party treat or for mini-size dessert at home. Sharing is optional!
- There’s no springform pan needed! As long as you have a square baking pan, you’re good to go.
- Unlike traditional vanilla cheesecake, these mini cheesecakes do not require a water bath. It’s a great recipe to try for cheesecake beginners.
Important Ingredient Notes
- Oreo sandwich cookies – Although I used traditional Oreos, you can use a flavored variety for something different. Mint would be great for the holidays!
- Heavy whipping cream – Don’t try to lighten things up with half-and-half or milk! Cheesecake is meant to be rich, after all.
- White chocolate morsels – These add some creaminess and vanilla flavor.
- Cream cheese – Use the kind that comes in a block, not a tub.
- Sour cream – I recommend full-fat sour cream for the best results.
- Marshmallow cream fluff – This may be a slightly unexpected ingredient, but it really takes these cheesecake bites to the next level!
How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Bites
Make the Crust:
- Process the cookies until they form crumbs.
- Melt the butter and stir it into the cookie crumbs until the crumbs are moist.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom of a square baking dish lined with foil. Bake the crust in a 350ºF oven for about 8 minutes.
- Let the crust cool while you work on the filling.
Make the Filling:
- In a double boiler, heat the heavy cream over low until it’s warm. Add the chocolate chips and stir until they melt.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese with the sugar and cornstarch until the mixture is fluffy.
- Beat in the sour cream, vanilla, and eggs.
- Slowly beat in the chocolate mixture.
Bake the Oreo Cheesecake:
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake in a 300ºF oven for about 35 minutes.
- Turn the oven off and let cheesecake remain in oven an additional 20 minutes.
- Remove and cool, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Garnish the Cheesecake Bites:
- Cut the cheesecake into small bites.
- Beat the butter with the powdered sugar, marshmallow cream, and heavy cream on high speed for about 3-4 minutes, or until fluffy.
- Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag and use a star tip (or French tip) to pipe a small swirl on each bite.
- Top each Oreo cheesecake bite with one mini Oreo.
Tips for Tricks
- Use a double boiler for your cheesecake filling. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a glass or metal bowl positioned over a saucepan to create your own faux double boiler.
- Don’t over beat the cream cheese mixture.
- If you don’t have a food processor, use a plastic bag to crush Oreos. Place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and press out the excess air. Crush the cookies with a rolling pin.
- Swap out the Oreo cookies for Nutter Butters or Mint Oreos for a unique twist.
How can I tell when cheesecake is done baking?
After you pull the cheesecake from the oven, the center will be a bit jiggly. This will firm up after it is properly chilled. Here are some additional ways to know when your cheesecake is done cooking.
- Temperature: A cheesecake that is done should read 150° F with an instant thermometer.
- Sight: Once the cheesecake edge starts to brown and puff up a bit, it is done.
- Movement: You can shake your cheesecake pan slightly while it is still in the oven. If the middle area jiggles just slightly, then it is done.
- Touch: Gently touch the center of the cheesecake with one finger. If you get batter on it, or the cake sinks, it needs longer to cook.
