    How to Make Mini Oreo Cheesecake

    Making these incredible mini Oreo cheesecakes is easier than you think. Here's how to make them at home step by step:

    Prepare Mini Oreo Cheesecake Base

    To begin, preheat your oven to 325 F. In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and cocoa powder, and stir well to mix. Set this aside for now.

    In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and cocoa powder, and stir well to mix.

    Crush your whole Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. You can add melted butter to this mixture, but it's optional – I often omit it as the crust holds up well on its own.

    Next, line your muffin tins with paper liners. Fill each liner with 1 ½ tbsp. of Oreo crumbs, then press the crumbs down firmly using the back of the measuring spoon. Set these aside for the moment.

    Fill each liner with 1 ½ tbsp. of Oreo crumbs, then press the crumbs down firmly using the back of the measuring spoon.

    Make the Cream Cheese Filling

    In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth in texture. Be sure to scrape the cream cheese down the sides of the bowl using a silicone spatula.

    Add the sugar and cocoa powder mixture to the cream cheese and beat for a couple of minutes, or until it's well combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated, then beat the mixture for another minute or so.

    Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated, then beat the mixture for another minute or so.

    Reduce the mixing speed to low and add the sea salt, vanilla extract, and one egg at a time.

    Increase the speed to medium-high and beat the mixture for a couple of minutes. Again, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat for another minute to ensure a smooth, consistent batter.

    Reduce the mixing speed to low and add the sea salt, vanilla extract, and one egg at a time.

    Bake the Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

    Divide the cream cheese batter evenly between your muffin tins. Bake in your preheated oven for 15 – 18 minutes.

     Bake in your preheated oven for 15 – 18 minutes.

    Carefully remove the cheesecakes from the oven to prevent any shaking, and let them cool in the pan. Once they've cooled, remove the cheesecakes from the pan and let them cool completely before adding the toppings.

    Once they've cooled, remove the cheesecakes from the pan and let them cool completely before adding the toppings.

    For the cream, combine sugar and heavy cream and beat until it thickens. Fill a 16” decorating bag with a 1M Wilton tip and pipe the cream on top of each cheesecake.

    Place the fruit of your choice on top of the cream. I recommend refrigerating the cheesecakes for 4 hours before serving. 

    However, if you prefer a softer cheesecake, you can remove them from the fridge 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious mini Oreo cheesecakes!

    Tips for Making the Best Mini Oreo Cheesecake

    • Choose the right Oreos: For this mini Oreo cheesecake recipe, you can use any flavor of Oreo cookies you like. However, for a classic Oreo cheesecake flavor, stick to the original Oreo cookies.
    • Properly line your muffin pan: Make sure to line your muffin pan with foil cupcake liners. This will make it easier to remove the mini Oreo cheesecakes once they are baked and cooled.
    • Monitor the baking time: Bake your mini Oreo cheesecakes for 15-18 minutes, or until they are set. Be careful not to overbake them, as this can cause the cheesecakes to sink in the middle.
    • Top with whipped cream and berries: Before serving, top your mini Oreo cheesecakes with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh raspberry. This adds a refreshing contrast to the rich cheesecake flavor.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Looking for a sweet and tangy twist? Drizzle your mini Oreo cheesecake with a raspberry coulis before serving. The tartness of the raspberries pairs perfectly with the rich, creamy cheesecake and chocolatey Oreo crust.
    • For those who love a bit of crunch, try adding some crushed Oreo cookies on top of your mini Oreo cheesecake cupcakes. The extra Oreo crumbs add a satisfying crunch to every bite.
    • If you're a fan of classic flavors, you can't go wrong with a simple topping of whipped cream and a whole fresh raspberry. The lightness of the cream compliments the rich cheesecake, while the raspberry adds a refreshing touch.
    • For a decadent treat, drizzle your mini Oreo cheesecake with hot fudge or chocolate sauce. The smooth, rich chocolate enhances the flavor of the Oreo cookies and creamy cheesecake filling.

    Recipe Variation Ideas

    This delicious mini Oreo cheesecake recipe is absolutely perfect as is, but if you're looking to change things up, here are a few variation ideas you can try:

    • Double Chocolate: For all the chocolate lovers out there, this variation is a must-try. Simply replace the regular Oreo cookies with chocolate cream-filled Oreos for the crust, and top the mini Oreo cheesecakes with a drizzle of hot fudge. This variation enhances the rich, chocolatey flavor of the cheesecake.
    • Cookie Dough: If you're a fan of cookie dough, this variation is a must-try. Add a handful of mini chocolate chips to the cheesecake batter and use chocolate chip cookies for the crust. This variation gives the mini Oreo cheesecakes a deliciously sweet and cookie dough-like flavor.
    • Strawberry: For a fruity twist, try adding a layer of fresh strawberry compote on top of the Oreo cookie crust before adding the cheesecake batter. This variation provides a refreshing contrast to the rich and creamy cheesecake.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What type of Oreo cookies should I use for this mini Oreo cheesecake recipe?

    For this recipe, you can use any flavor of Oreo cookies you like, but the classic chocolate flavor works great.

    How should I line my muffin pan for this recipe?

    You should use foil cupcake liners to line your muffin pan. These liners will prevent the cheesecake from sticking to the pan and make it easier to remove and serve.

    Can I make the cheesecake batter in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the cheesecake batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just make sure to cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap to prevent it from absorbing any odors.

    How to Store Leftovers

    • Refrigerate: After enjoying these delectable mini Oreo cheesecakes, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Simply place them in an airtight container and pop them in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
    • Freeze: They also freeze beautifully. Place the mini Oreo cheesecakes in a freezer-safe container or wrap them tightly with freezer wrap. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
    • Thawing: When you're ready to enjoy your frozen mini cheesecakes, just transfer them to the refrigerator and let them thaw overnight. Unfortunately, these cheesecakes don't respond well to quick-thawing methods, as the texture of the creamy cheesecake filling can become a bit watery.

      Hi Valya! Is it easy to remove the molds after they're all done? Want to serve it at a wedding and want to make sure they won't fall apart sine I want to take the muffin liners out.

        Hi Anna! That's a great question! I have not shared this tip on the blog yet (will share it with the next mini cheesecake recipe), but what you can do is place the cheesecakes into the freezer for 30 minutes before decorating. Let the outer layer freeze, then remove mini cheesecakes from the freezer and gently peel the liners off. Place each mini cheesecake onto mini cake board for the cute presentation. The ruffle shape that will be left on each mini cheesecake is phenomenal! 😉

      I made this recipe last week for a potluck, but into a round 9" cake. Turned out pretty tasty. Used raspberries like you suggested. I think raspberries go very well with chocolate cheesecake. Yum yum! Thanks for your recipe.
