Description
Mini Oreo Cheesecakes are bite-sized desserts that combine a crunchy Oreo cookie crust with a smooth, creamy cheesecake filling. Perfect for parties, snacks, or cozy nights in, these treats offer a balanced rich and sweet flavor in a convenient, snackable size that everyone will love.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 20 Oreos (classic chocolate sandwich cookies), finely crushed
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60g) sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Finely crush the Oreos and combine with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottoms of a lined mini muffin pan to form the crust.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing well. Blend in the egg until the filling is creamy and consistent.
- Assemble and bake: Spoon the cheesecake filling onto each Oreo crust, filling nearly to the top of each muffin cup. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 15-18 minutes, or until the centers are just slightly jiggly. Allow to cool completely before refrigerating.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 3 hours or overnight to firm up. Once chilled, serve as a creamy, crunchy treat.
Notes
- Use cream cheese and eggs at room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
- Do not overbake; a slight jiggle in the center means they are done to avoid cracks or crumbly texture.
- Press the crust mixture firmly to ensure the mini cheesecakes hold together well.
- Line the mini muffin pan with cupcake liners for easy removal.
- Customize toppings such as crushed Oreos, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream for extra flair.
