Ingredients You’ll Need for Mini Oreo Cheesecake Bites

You only need a handful of pantry staples to whip up these crowd-pleasers.

For the Crust

• 12 whole Oreo cookies (one for each cheesecake cup)

For the Cheesecake Filling

• 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8–10 crushed Oreo cookies (for mixing into the batter)

For the Topping (Optional but Amazing!)

Kitchen Tools and Equipment Checklist

Before baking, make sure you have these on hand:

• Muffin tin
• Paper cupcake liners
• Hand or stand mixer
• Mixing bowls
• Rubber spatula
• Cooling rack
• Measuring cups and spoons

If you enjoy prepping make-ahead treats, you’ll find these tools useful for recipes like the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies too!

Step-by-Step Instructions for the Perfect Oreo Cheesecake Bites

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners. Place a whole Oreo at the bottom of each liner — this acts as your crust.
2. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
4. Fold in the crushed Oreos gently — you want small chunks for that cookies-and-cream texture.
5. Fill the cupcake liners: Spoon the batter evenly over each Oreo base, filling about ¾ full.
6. Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the centers are just set but still slightly jiggly.
7. Cool completely: Let the cheesecakes cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
8. Decorate: Top with whipped cream, crushed Oreos, or drizzle with melted chocolate.

For a similar method that produces a creamy center and crisp edges, try making Pumpkin Brownies — they use the same gentle bake-and-cool approach for perfection every time.

Tips for Creamy, Fluffy Mini Cheesecakes

• Always start with room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
• Don’t overmix the batter — it traps air and can cause cracks.
• Bake at a low temperature to maintain smoothness.
• Chill thoroughly before serving for the best texture.
• Add toppings only after the cheesecakes have cooled.

These tips also apply to other mini desserts like the Pumpkin Twists — both are proof that patience creates perfect texture!

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Baking Cheesecake Bites

1. Overbaking — the center should jiggle slightly when done.

3. Using low-fat ingredients — they can make the filling grainy.
4. Removing liners too early — wait until fully chilled.
5. Crushing Oreos too finely — a little texture makes each bite better.
