If you love Oreo cheesecake but think such a big cheesecake is not what you want; these mini Oreo cheesecakes are for you! They’re easy to make and perfect for serving at any kind of party!
These mini Oreo cheesecakes are the perfect individual dessert: creamy, chocolatey, and just the right size.
They’re easy to make, great for parties or birthdays, and you don’t even need to fuss with a crust: the Oreo does all the work. Plus, they can be made ahead of time, which makes them ideal for any party!
For making these mini oreo cheesecakes you need pretty much the same ingredients as with any other cheesecake recipes with the exception of the Oreo cookies.
With my basic recipe for mini cheesecakes, you can go in all kinds of directions and this Oreo version proves that once again.
For this recipe, I replaced the standard cheesecake crust with an Oreo crust. One cookie fits perfectly in the bottom of a cupcake liner.
The cheesecake filling itself stays the same, although you can also fold pieces of Oreo into the batter if you like. Especially for fans of these little dark chocolate cookies.
A cheesecake is perfectly delicious without a topping, but sometimes it’s a really tasty addition. For small cheesecakes, I like to add a swirl of mascarpone cream. Just like I did with these mini Oreo cheesecakes.
You can further decorate the swirl with fruit, sprinkles, cookie crumbs, and other treats. I chose a small Oreo cookie and some extra cookie crumbs. It looks festive and immediately shows what flavor the cheesecake is.
You can store the mini Oreo cheesecakes in the fridge for 2-3 days. Cover them with aluminum foil or place in an airtight container.
Yes you can freeze the mini Oreo cheesecakes but without the topping. Make sure to wrap them separately in plastic wrap and place them in a container for freezing.
Let them thaw in the fridge before adding fresh fruit or other decorations.
I absolutely love baking with Oreo cookies. They’re not only great to eat on their own, but also perfect for baking. From quick no-bake treats to festive desserts, you can do so much with Oreos. No wonder I’ve already made lots of recipes with them. Some favorites:
I prefer to use silicone liners for these mini cheesecakes. They make it easy to remove the mini cheesecakes. Personally, I don’t find eating from a paper liner very convenient in this case, and paper liners also don’t release as well when it comes to cheesecakes. Silicone cupcake liners work perfectly
Silicone liners are sturdier than paper ones and hold their shape better, but I still find a muffin pan very handy when making mini cheesecakes. It also makes them easier to move.
Absolutely. In fact that is better as, just like with normal size cheesecakes, they need time to cool, set and rest. The size doesn’t change that.
