Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, pulse 24 Oreo cookies until they are finely crushed. Add the melted unsalted butter and pulse again until the mixture is combined. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners and press about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner. Place the tin in the refrigerator to set the crusts.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain the light and airy texture. Carefully fold in the 12 crushed Oreo cookies.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Bites: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over each Oreo crust in the mini muffin tin. Smooth the tops with a spatula for a neat finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake bites for at least 4 hours, or until fully set to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake bites from the mini muffin tin and peel off the paper liners. Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful no-bake dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth blending without lumps.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly to prevent crumbling when eating.
- Use a chilled mixing bowl and whisk for whipping the cream to achieve better volume.
- These cheesecake bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added texture, sprinkle extra crushed Oreos on top before chilling.
