Tools & Supplies for Making Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
How to Make Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
- Make the chocolate cookie crust: Combine the Oreo cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Portion and press the crumbs into the mini cheesecake pans to form the crust. Set aside.
- Make the Oreo cheesecake filling: Cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the heavy cream and whip until the cheesecake mixture thickens. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
- Fill the cheesecakes: Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake mixture and pipe it onto the Oreo cookie crusts. Chill the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight.
- Make the chocolate ganache: Heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in the microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth.
- Make the whipped cream: Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until medium-stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the cheesecakes: Remove the cheesecakes from the pan. Spoon the chocolate ganache over the cheesecakes. Fill a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M piping tip with the whipped cream, and pipe a swirl of whipped cream onto each of the cheesecakes. Sprinkle the cheesecakes with Oreo cookie crumbs and add mini Oreo cookies.
Recipe Tips
- If you do not have a mini cheesecake pan, you can use a cupcake or muffin pan. If you are using a standard cupcake pan, the yield of the recipe will be about 12 to 14 mini cheesecakes. Use cupcake liners for easy removal.
- Use a food processor to make Oreo cookie crumbs. You could seal the cookies in a resealable storage bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion the Oreo cookie crumbs into the mini cheesecake pan. This is equivalent to about 1 tablespoon.
- To remove the cheesecakes from the pan, I recommend inserting a toothpick into the top of the cheesecake as you press up on the mini cheesecake pan’s removable bottom.
- Store the mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Serve chilled.

Additional Ingredients

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the Oreo cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted salted butter. Portion the crumbs into the mini cheesecake pan using a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon). Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and whip the cheesecake mixture on medium-high speed until the mixture thickens and becomes light and fluffy. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
- Fill a piping bag with the Oreo cheesecake mixture and pipe it onto the Oreo cookie crusts, slightly above the top of the pan. Chill the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight. After chilling, remove the cheesecakes from the pan.
- To make the chocolate ganache, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate and cream in the microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- To make the whipped cream, in a bowl with an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until medium-stiff peaks form. Fill a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M piping tip with the whipped cream.
- To assemble the cheesecakes, pipe or spoon the slightly cooled chocolate ganache on the top of the cheesecakes. Pipe a small swirl of whipped cream on top of the ganache. Sprinkle the cheesecakes with Oreo cookie crumbs and top each cheesecake with a mini Oreo cookie.

Hi Courtney! These mini oreo cheesecakes are amazing!! I took a shortcut & made these
right in the 5 oz containers. (we like them a little bigger & we don’t need to serve as many people as the 2 oz) They are fantastic! Everyone LOVED them. It’s a wonderful recipe to make ahead of time so I’m not doing it at the last minute! Thank you for this & ALL of your delicious recipes! Congrats on the new website!!!✨️✨️
Hi Kris! Thanks so much for trying out the recipe and for the positive review! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed it! And thank you for the congratulations! I’m very excited to share it with everyone!
How many Oreos would you say is in 2 cups? 1/2 pack whole pack?
Hi Carol! It is typically about 10 Oreos per cup so around 20 Oreos for 2 cups.
Hello,
How far in advance can I make the cheesecake filling?
Hi Sheila! The cheesecake filling sets up as it sits, so I don’t recommend making it ahead of time and saving it for a later date. It can become a bit stiff and have air bubbles.
I love oreos I hope I can do it
I hope you love the recipe!
Bought the pans after seeing this recipe and whipped them up this weekend. Delicious! 10 out of 10. They are as yummy as they are cute! Keeping my fingers crossed for more of these mini cheesecake recipes since I have the pans now. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Bobbie! So thrilled to hear that you loved this recipe! They are so cute and the perfect little treat! I will definitely be creating more mini cheesecake recipes soon!
Can you use a regular muffin pan or does it have to be a cheesecake pan?
Hi Sarah! You can use a regular muffin pan, but I would recommend using cupcake or muffin liners so you can get the cheesecakes out of the pan. The recipe will yield a smaller amount because the muffin pans are larger than the mini cheesecake pans.
Hi, I want to make these for a group and won’t be able to serve right away. Will the whipped cream topping collapse?
Thanks
Hi Sue! As long as the mini cheesecakes are in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the whipped cream should be good for a couple days. You could also check out my recipe for stabilized whipped cream frosting which would ensure that it stays well with the addition of a little unflavored gelatin.
Can these cheese
Cakes be frozen
Hi Catherine! Yes, they can be, however, I would hold off on adding the chocolate ganache or whipped cream until you plan on serving them for the best results.
