Description
Mini Oreo Cheesecakes are rich, creamy individual cheesecakes with a crunchy Oreo crust and smooth filling — perfect for parties, dessert trays, or any time you want a sweet little treat.
Ingredients
- 18–20 Oreo cookies (for crust and optional garnish)
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp sour cream or heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Optional toppings: crushed Oreos, whipped cream, chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners (about 12–18 cavities).
- Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin.
- Mix crushed Oreos with melted butter until combined.
- Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each liner to form a crust. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy and well combined.
- Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in sour cream or heavy cream if using.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the crusts in each muffin liner.
- Bake for 12–18 minutes, or until centers are set but slightly jiggly. Do not overbake.
- Let cheesecakes cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Top with whipped cream, crushed Oreos, or a drizzle of chocolate if desired before serving.
