Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Crust:

16 Oreo cookies

For the Cheesecake Filling:

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 (about 6 Oreos)

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Baking Pan:

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a regular cupcake baking pan with 16 paper liners and place one Oreo cookie in each liner. Set aside.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes until smooth. Gently fold in the Oreo cookie crumbs with a spatula until evenly combined.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake Bites:

Spoon the Oreo cheesecake mixture evenly over the cookies in the liners, adding about two tablespoons of batter to each cup. Sprinkle extra Oreo cookie crumbs on top for a delicious finishing touch.

4. Bake and Cool:

Bake in the preheated oven for 14–16 minutes, or until the centers are set. Be careful not to overbake, as this can affect the creamy texture. Allow the cheesecakes to cool for at least 30 minutes, then remove the paper liners.

5. Chill and Serve:

Refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 2 hours before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, top with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

Chilled is Best: These cheesecake bites taste best when served cold, straight from the refrigerator. The chilling enhances the creamy texture and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Add Toppings: Elevate your presentation by adding a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce, or even a sprinkle of colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
Pair with Beverages: Serve alongside a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or a glass of milk for the ultimate dessert experience.

Storage Tips:

Refrigeration: Store the Oreo Cheesecake Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure they are completely cooled before storing to maintain their texture and flavor.
Freezing: These bites freeze wonderfully! Place them in a single layer in an airtight container or wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Avoid Overexposure: Keep the cheesecake bites away from strong odors in the fridge or freezer to prevent them from absorbing unwanted flavors.
