How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Bites

Ingredients

16 Oreos
16 ounces cream cheese; softened (2-8 ounce packages)
1/2 cup sugar
2 whole eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup large and small Oreo cookie crumbs; chop Oreos with a knife to get both large and small cookie chunks. Reserve a few tablespoons for topping cheesecakes. Do not use a food processor as it will turn the cookies into fine crumbs.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a regular cupcake baking pan with 16 paper liners and place one Oreo cookie in each liner. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Sprinkle in the Oreo cookie crumbs and fold in with a spatula until combined.
With a tablespoon, spoon the Oreo cheesecake mixture evenly on top of the Oreo cookies, about two tablespoons of cheesecake batter per cupcake cup. Sprinkle each cheesecake with more Oreo cookie crumbs.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the middles are set. Be sure not to over-bake. Let the cheesecake cool for at least 30 minutes and remove the paper wrappers. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It’s best to let the cheesecake bites get cold, about 2 hours in the refrigerator. Optional: top with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos!

How to Serve Oreo Cheesecake Bites

Enjoy these bites chilled for the best taste! They serve well as finger food at parties or as a sweet finish to any meal. For extra flair, add whipped cream and sprinkle some crushed Oreos on top.

How to Store Oreo Cheesecake Bites

These cheesecake bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure they are completely cooled before storing. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; just thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Tips to Make Oreo Cheesecake Bites

Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
Don’t over-bake them. They’re done when the middle is set but still slightly jiggly.
Experiment with different toppings like caramel drizzle or chocolate sauce for extra flavor.

Variation

You can switch up the flavors by using different cookie types. Try using Golden Oreos for a vanilla twist or even peanut butter Oreos for a unique flavor.
