How to Make Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

Follow along with our pictures and step-by-step instructions to make the perfect Mini Oreo Cheesecakes. Don’t forget to check out the tips and tricks for extra guidance. Let’s get started and create something delicious!

FIRST STEP: Line a standard muffin pan with 12 paper liners. Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Pro Tip

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cheesecakes at the lower end of the recommended baking time.

SECOND STEP: Line standard muffin tins with cupcake liners and place one whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each liner.

Pro Tip

Parchment or foil-lined cupcake liners are the easiest to peel from the cheesecake filling.

THIRD STEP: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

Pro Tip

Make sure you use room temperature cream cheese, so you don’t end up with lumps in your cheesecake filling.

FOURTH STEP: Add sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fully combined.

FIFTH STEP: Beat in the sour cream.

SIXTH STEP: Add one egg at a time and stir by hand until combined.

Pro Tip

Overbeating the cheesecake will add too much air to the batter, leading to it puffing during baking and then cracking while cooling. I always switch to a spatula and mix the rest by hand once I add the first egg.

SEVENTH STEP: Fold in chopped Oreos.

EIGHTH STEP: Scoop the cheesecake batter over the Oreo-lined cupcake liners in the muffin pan. Fill each tin almost to the top.

Pro Tip

You can transfer your Oreo cheesecake mixture into a Ziploc bag. Snip a ¾ to 1-inch piece off one corner and pipe the cheesecake filling into each cup. This makes less of a mess when filling the cheesecake cups.

NINTH STEP: Bake for 20 minutes until the cheesecakes are set and dry to the touch on top.

Pro Tip

I like to add a pan with water to the oven while baking. The pan can go on the rack under the cheesecakes. This makes the oven environment moister and prevents cracking. It also helps to create creamier, smooth cheesecakes.

TENTH STEP: Allow cheesecakes to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes), and then place in the refrigerator to chill for one to two hours.

ELEVENTH STEP: To make the whipped cream, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

TWELFTH STEP: Pipe whipped cream onto the tops of the chilled cheesecakes. Garnish with mini Oreos and chopped Oreo crumbs.
