Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse 24 Oreo cookies until finely crushed. Add the melted butter and pulse again until the mixture is well combined. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners and press about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture into the bottom of each liner. Refrigerate to set the crust.
- Make the cheesecake filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture for a light, airy texture. Finally, gently fold in 12 crushed Oreo cookies to add texture and flavor.
- Assemble the bites: Spoon the prepared cheesecake filling over the chilled Oreo crusts in the mini muffin tin. Use a spatula to smooth the tops evenly.
- Chill to set: Place the assembled cheesecake bites in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set and firm.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake bites from the muffin tin and peel off the paper liners. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
- Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping for best results.
- For easier removal, freeze the cheesecake bites for 15-20 minutes before peeling off the liners.
- These cheesecake bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to substitute regular Oreos with gluten-free versions if needed.
