I love cheesecake, but I love quick, bite sized cheesecake even more! Who needs a plate and fork to enjoy cheesecake? Certainly not this girl, that's for sure! I catch my husband eating these directly out of the fridge pretty much any time he passes it. They are so, so good for when you need a quick sweet snack. These are also perfect to make and bring to a gathering, whenever we are allowed to have those again (sigh).

What are the ingredients in Mini OREO Cheesecake Bites?

There are only a few ingredients required to make these mini OREO Cheesecake Bites:

  • Chocolate Cookie Crumbs - I buy mine pre-ground, but you can make your own using a food processor and some OREOs
  • butter - used in the crust to hold it together and as the base for the icing
  • granulated sugar - used in the crust to help hold it together, and in the cheesecake for some sweetness
  • cream cheese - make sure you use brick cream cheese at room temperature for this recipe
  • sour cream - helps make the cheesecake a bit smoother and creamier
  • egg - Helps to hold the cheesecake together after baking
  • vanilla extract - For a boost of flavor
  • cornstarch - this helps thicken the cheesecake
  • salt - to enhance the flavor of the cheesecakes
  • OREOs - we need these to make OREO cheesecake of course (but any brand will work!)
  • Powdered sugar - For the icing if you choose to make it

How do I make Mini Oreo Cheesecake Bites?

These are not complicated to make - I had mine in the oven in less than 15 minutes, but there are several steps involved that I will explain below.

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 F, and prepare a mini muffin pan with mini liners. Liners are important in this recipe - you will not be able to get the cheesecake out of the pan without them.

Step 2: Make the crust by combining chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter and granulated sugar in a small bowl until completely combined. The texture should be something like wet sand

Step 3: Place about half a tablespoon of crust mixture into each of the 24 muffin liners and pat down with the back of a spoon. I used a rounded spoon and it helped make a cavity in the center for my cheesecake

Step 4: Prepare the cheesecake mixture by beating the cream cheese on high speed until smooth and creamy. Then beat in the sugar until fully incorporated

Step 5: Beat the sour cream, egg, vanilla, salt and cornstarch into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined

Oreo Cheesecake bites are scattered around the baking pan

Step 6: Stir in chopped OREOs until evenly distributed, then spoon about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake mixture into each muffin cavity

Step 7: Bake mini cheesecakes in preheated oven about 10-12 minutes, or until the center is completely set. Once they are done cooking, allow them to cool at room temperature about 30 minutes, then put them in the fridge to finish cooling for an additional hour or until the are chilled

Step 8: If you want to garnish with some cookies and creme frosting, while the cheesecakes cool you can prepare it, but the cheesecakes must be completely cooled before you pipe it on.

Step 9: In a small bowl, beat the butter, then slowly add the icing sugar in 4-5 additions, mixing well after each. Stir in the OREO crumbs, followed by the milk.

Step 10: Once cheesecakes are completely cooled, add a small dollop of frosting to each one, and add a mini OREO cookie on top for decoration. Serve cold.

Tips and Tricks to make the best Mini Oreo Cheesecake Bites:

  • The number one most important thing is to make sure your ingredients are room temperature - especially the cream cheese - cold cream cheese will not mix well with other ingredients and you will have lumps
  • Make sure the cream cheese is thoroughly creamed before you add any other ingredients to it
  • Pat the crust mixture down firmly in the pan before you add the cheesecake to it
  • Make sure the cheesecakes are completely cooked before you remove them from the oven - they should not be liquidy in the center, and some may develop slight cracks
  • Make sure the cheesecakes are cold to the touch before you put frosting on them
  • I used an open star piping tip for the frosting but a spoon will get the job done too
  • Make sure you use muffin liners - otherwise the cheesecakes will not come out of the pan
  • Try and make sure you make each cheesecake the same size so that they cook evenly

How do I store Mini Oreo Cheesecake Bites?

Since these are cheesecake, they must be stored in the fridge - an airtight container is best. I'd recommend eating them within 3-4 days of making them. You can also freeze them for several months. They can be thawed in the fridge for several hours, or even enjoyed frozen!
