What You’ll Need

Ingredients You’ll Need for Oreo Cheesecake Bites Recipe

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).

How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Bites Recipe

Now that we’ve gathered our cozy ingredients let’s roll up our sleeves and get started! You’ll see just how simple it is to create these delightful bite-sized desserts.

Preheat your 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 softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle in the chopped Oreo cookie crumbs and gently fold them into the batter with a spatula until just combined.
With a tablespoon, spoon the Oreo cheesecake mixture evenly on top of the Oreo cookies in each liner, about two tablespoons of cheesecake batter per cupcake cup.
Take those reserved cookie crumbs and sprinkle them generously on top of each cheesecake bite.
Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes or until the middles are set. Be sure not to over-bake, as we want them to remain creamy!
Once baked, let the cheesecake bites cool for at least 30 minutes before removing the paper wrappers.
Place them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. It’s best to let the cheesecake bites get cold for about 2 hours.
Optional: Top with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos for an extra indulgent touch!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Now, while the classic Oreo Cheesecake Bites are drool-worthy as is, here are a few creative twists you can try:

Minty Delight: Add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the batter for a refreshing mint chocolate treat!
Peanut Butter Swirl: Swirl in a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter right before baking for a nutty kick.
Chocolate Drizzle: Melt some chocolate and drizzle it over the chilled cheesecake bites for a rich finish.
Fruit Topping: Add a layer of fresh berries or a berry compote on top before serving for a zesty, refreshing contrast.
