I am a big fan of cheesecake desserts and have shared lots of cheesecake recipes with you on my blog, from Oreo Cheesecake to No Bake Cheesecake Bites. But this mini Oreo cheesecake recipe is definitely my favorite! Individual cheesecakes each has Oreo crust at the bottom and baked with cream cheese and sour cream mixture.

I have tested different ratios among ingredients and baked them at different temperatures. This recipe is a winner! Baking your mini Oreo cheesecake at a low temperature is the secret to the perfect and fluffy cheesecake cups.

What You’ll Need for Oreo Cheesecake Bites

The great thing about this recipe? All you need is 6 simple ingredients.

• Oreo Cookies: Don’t use double stuff, but you can use flavored Oreos. I used the standard in this recipe.
• Cream Cheese: Avoid using low fat. Standard full-fat cream cheese produces the best flavor and consistency. It’s very important to soften the cream cheese before cooking.
• Eggs: Room-temperature eggs aren’t entirely crucial but it helps to blend ingredients more easily. To bring eggs to room temperature they’ll need to rest for 2 hours. Alternatively, you can soak them in warm water for 10 minutes.
• Sour Cream:  The sour cream softens up the texture as well as adds a slightly tangy flavor. You can substitute plain Greek yogurt. 
• Granulated Sugar: Regular granulated sugar works well.
• Vanilla Extract: It adds the subtle and delicious flavor of vanilla, and also enhances the flavor of other ingredients.

How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Bites

1. Place cupcake paper liners into each muffin tin, and place one cookie into the bottom of each paper cup. Set aside.

2. Place the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.

3. Add vanilla extract, eggs, and sour cream. Beat until combined. Tap bowl against your countertop a few times to release any large air bubbles.

4. Add crumbled Oreo pieces. Mix gently using a spatula.

5. Spoon the mixture into each cup until they are almost full. Note that the cheesecake won’t rise as much as normal cupcakes.

6. Bake these miniature cheesecakes in the oven at 325°F for 20-25 minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Mini Oreo Cheesecake Bites

• It’s best to bring your cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream to room temperature before you make the mixture, as this will ensure a smooth texture of your cheesecake bites.
• Don’t over-beat your eggs! Stop as soon as they are combined with the rest of the ingredients.
• To prevent the surface from cracking or burned, bake your Oreo cheesecake bites in a low-temperature oven for a fluffy and light texture. (Note that cheesecake is supposed to have a pale look instead of a golden brown color.)

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Store these Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes?

Store them in the refrigerator: Cheesecakes cannot be left at room temperature for more than 4-6 hours, so place these oreo cheesecake cupcakes in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. It can last for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Store them in the freezer: These Oreo cheesecake bites freeze well. Once they are cooled, you can wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in zip-top bags. They will last for a few months. Allow frozen mini cheesecakes to defrost overnight in the refrigerator.

Can I Make Oreo Cheesecake Bites with Greek Yogurt?

Yes, you’ll need to use plain Greek yogurt for this recipe. I’ve tried both sour cream and Greek yogurt, and there’s no difference in terms of the flavor or texture.

How Can I Prevent the Cheesecakes from Cracking?

Make sure your oven temperature is accurate and you’ll need to bake them at 325°F. If it’s above this temperature, the cheesecake is likely to crack. In addition, if any chopped Oreos float up a bit to the surface of the batter, use a toothpick to push them back down. If they are too close to the surface, they can cause cracking.

Will the Oreo Cookies Be Crunchy After Being Cooked?

No, the baked Oreos actually soak up the moisture from the cream cheese batter. They are soft and moist once baked!
