Ingredients Breakdown
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened : This gives the cheesecake its creamy texture. If you’re in a pinch, you can use Neufchâtel cheese for a lighter option.
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar : Adds sweetness without the grit of granulated sugar. Adjust to your taste; you might want a little more or less!
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract : A splash of this elevates the flavor, giving it that classic cheesecake taste.
- 1 cup whipped cream : This lightens up the mixture beautifully. Make your own or grab a tub from the store to save on time!
- 12 Oreo cookies, crushed : The star of the show! You can be generous here with the cookie crumbles; they add texture and chocolatey goodness.
- 12 mini Oreo cookies for garnish : These are just for decoration, but let’s be honest, they make it extra cute.
- 1 cup chocolate ganache (optional) : Drizzling this over the top is completely optional but delivers an indulgent touch that’s hard to resist. You can always make your own or buy ready-made.
Let’s Get Cooking!
How to Make Mini Oreo Cheesecake Bites
Beat the Cream Cheese (5 minutes) : Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Beat it with an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk until it’s super smooth and creamy. This step is crucial, so make sure there aren’t any lumps!
Add Sweetness (2-3 minutes) : Dump in the powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla extract. Mix these together until well combined. The mix should be nicely sweet but not overly so, you can definitely taste test along the way!
Fold in the Whipped Cream (3-5 minutes) : Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture. You want to keep that airy texture, so be careful not to over-mix. It should look silky and fluffy!
Add Crushed Oreos (2 minutes) : Now, add in the crushed Oreos. Stir until you have those delicious chunks mixed throughout. Seriously, the smell is divine!
Spoon It Into Molds (5-10 minutes) : Grab some mini cupcake liners or silicone molds and spoon the mixture evenly into them. Tap the mold gently to settle the filling. You might want to taste a little, no judgments here!
Freeze (2 hours) : Pop those into the freezer for at least 2 hours until they’re nice and firm. Trust me, the wait is worth it!
Garnish (optional) : If you’re feeling extra fancy, dip the tops in melted chocolate ganache and add a mini Oreo on top. It’s totally optional but hey, who doesn’t love that added touch?
Serve Chilled and Enjoy! : Once they’re set, it’s time to dig in! Pop them out of the molds, place them on a serving platter, and let the good times roll as your family oohs and aahs over these delectable bites!
