Mini Oreo Cheesecake Bites are ricy, creamy, and easy to make with a chocolate Oreo cookie crust. No springform pan or water bath needed!
I originally published these cheesecake bites in July 2012. I updated the recipe notes and the photos in March 2026.
Aimee’s Recipe Notes
There is something about Oreos that instantly makes a dessert feel fun and taste delicious. I wanted to make something indulgent and bakery-worth, but easy enough to make at home without any complicated steps.
After years of making homemade cheesecakes, I’ve learned that not everyone wants to deal with water baths, springform pans, and long bake times.
This Oreo Cheesecake Bite recipe gives you that creamy cheesecake texture with a chocolate crust, in a simple, sliceable bars that’s easy to bake and share.
I hope you love them as much as I do,

Cheesecake Bite Ingredients
Years ago we had a housesitter who would leave us a baked cheesecake in our fridge when we got home. He shared his recipe and I love how unique it is with white chocolate! Scroll down to the recipe card below for measurements.
- Oreo sandwich cookies – Love the Oreo cookie crust, so easy and flavorful.
- Heavy whipping cream – Don’t try to lighten things up with half-and-half or milk! Cheesecake is meant to be rich, after all.
- White chocolate morsels – These add some creaminess and a rich flavor.
- Cream cheese – Use the kind that comes in a block, not a tub for best texture.
- Sour cream – I recommend full-fat sour cream for the best results.
- Marshmallow cream fluff – This may be a slightly unexpected ingredient, but it really takes these cheesecake bites to the next level! Use my homemade marshmallow cream recipe if you can’t find this at your store.
How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Bites
Make the Crust:
- Process the cookies until they form crumbs. Melt the butter and stir it into the cookie crumbs until the crumbs are moist.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom of a square baking dish lined with foil. Bake the crust in a 350ºF oven for about 8 minutes. Let the crust cool while you work on the filling.
Make the Filling:
- In a double boiler, heat the heavy cream over low until it’s warm. Add the chocolate chips and stir until they melt. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese the ingredients, or use an electric stand mixer with whisk attachment.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Bake in a 300ºF oven for about 35 minutes. Turn the oven off and let cheesecake remain in oven an additional 20 minutes. Remove and cool, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Garnish the Cheesecake Bites:
- Beat the butter with the powdered sugar, marshmallow cream, and heavy cream on high speed for about 3-4 minutes, or until fluffy. Cut the cheesecake into small bites.
- Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag and use a star tip (or French tip) to pipe a small swirl on each bite. Top each Oreo cheesecake bite with one mini Oreo.
Cheesecake Tips and Tricks
- Use a double boiler for your cheesecake filling. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a glass or metal bowl positioned over a saucepan to create your own faux double boiler. White chocolate can be finicky in the microwave, so don’t try it.
- Don’t overbeat the cream cheese mixture.
- If you don’t have a food processor, use a plastic bag to crush Oreos. Place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and press out the excess air. Crush the cookies with a rolling pin.
- Swap out the Oreo cookies for Nutter Butters or Mint Oreos for a unique twist.
How can I tell when cheesecake is done baking?
After you pull the cheesecake from the oven, the center will be a bit jiggly. This will firm up after it is properly chilled. Here are some additional ways to know when your cheesecake is done cooking.
- Temperature: A cheesecake that is done should read 150° F with an instant thermometer.
- Sight: Once the cheesecake edge starts to brown and puff up a bit, it is done.
- Movement: You can shake your cheesecake pan slightly while it is still in the oven. If the middle area jiggles just slightly, then it is done.
- Touch: Gently touch the center of the cheesecake with one finger. If you get batter on it, or the cake sinks, it needs longer to cook.
