Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

These Mini Oreo Cheesecakes are an easy, yummy way to create personal desserts!  Oreo lovers will go nuts for this mini cheesecake recipe!

Oreos are a staple in our pantry. Double Stuf to be specific. Using a regular Oreo for the crust makes these Individual Cheesecakes a breeze to make!

Why You Must Make

• I needed a little amuse-bouche for my friends who were coming over to learn the basics of baking cheesecakes.
• This mini cheesecake recipe came together quickly, especially when you use an Oreo instead of a cookie crumb crust. 
• There is built-in portion control and fewer calories than eating a slice of a normal cheesecake!

Expert Tips

• PRO-Tip: Have your eggs and cream cheese at room temperature for the smoothest filling. You can hurry this process along if you don’t get them out early, by placing the eggs and the foil-wrapped cream cheese in a bowl of hot, not boiling water. I recommend taking these ingredients out of the refrigerator 1-2 hours before you start mixing.
• If you use a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment as this will keep the batter nice and dense.
• Use muffin liners for easy cleanup. Feel free to serve these mini cheesecakes placed in a second liner for a fancier presentation or even some pretty ramekins.
• These individual cheesecakes bake up with a slight dip in the centers. It’s the perfect spot to place 2-3 mini Oreos or some chopped full-sized Oreos for garnish.
• PRO-Tip: As with all cheesecakes, these taste better after refrigerating overnight.
• To serve, let them sit at room temperature for about an hour first. This will intensify their creaminess compared to serving them cold.

The Recipe:

Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 45 minutes

Yield 12 cheesecakes

These mini cheesecakes topped with Oreos are a fun individual dessert made easy by using a whole Oreo as a crust!

Ingredients

For crust:

• 12 Nabisco Famous Wafers, crushed
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon sugar OR
• 12 whole Oreos

For cheesecakes:

• 6 Oreo cookies, chopped
• 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs, at room temperature

For optional drizzle:

• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons shortening

Instructions

1. Line standard muffin tin with foil baking cups or grease well with Baker's Joy or other flour/oil non-stick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 325º.
2. Mix cookie crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a small bowl. Put 1 tablespoon of crumbs in each muffin cup, pressing down with fingers, spoon, or tamper to compress. Alternatively, you can use a whole Oreo for each crust.
3. Mix together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla till smooth. Mix in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Spoon into prepared cups. Sprinkle with chopped Oreos.
4. Bake for about 25 minutes or till set. Cool.
5. Melt chocolate chips and shortening together in the microwave. Drizzle over cheesecakes. I use a quart ziplock bag with a corner clipped off for drizzling. Or top each with a few mini Oreos.
