    Top tips

    • I like to chop the Oreos for the filling by hand rather than in a food processor. It only takes a few seconds, plus I like the contrast of having some slightly larger Oreo chunks in the finished cheesecake bites.
    • When dividing the cheesecake mixture amongst the twelve holes, I aim for 2 tablespoons of filling for each hole. I also found that my old fashioned ice cream scoop is just the right size!
    • Once the cheesecakes start to cool they will sink slightly in the middle. This is normal.

    Serving suggestions

    • Pipe some sweetened whipped cream onto these miniature cheesecake bites for some extra flair.
    • Drizzle over some strawberry fruit coulis or blueberry sauce.

    Variations

    • Original or double-stuffed Oreos could be used.
    • Other Oreo varieties like Red Velvet, Cinnamon Bun or Golden Oreos would all be great too!

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 160c.
    • Line a 12 hole cupcake/muffin pan with paper cases. Place a whole Oreo (12 cookies) into the base of each hole, then set aside.
      18 Oreo cookies
    • Place cream cheese in a bowl and beat until smooth.
      350 g full fat cream cheese
    • Add caster sugar, egg and vanilla essence then mix to combine.
      80 g caster sugar
      1 egg
      1 teaspoon vanilla essence
    • Fold Oreo crumbs (6 cookies) through cheesecake batter.
      18 Oreo cookies
    • Spoon cheesecake batter evenly over each of the 12 base cookies, pressing the mixture slightly down into the cups and smoothing the tops.
    • Bake for 18 - 22 minutes or until the center of each cheesecake is just set.
    • Allow to cool slightly in the tin, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for 3 - 4 hours or overnight.

    Notes

    • I like to chop the Oreos for the filling by hand rather than blitzing them in a food processor. It only takes a few seconds, plus I like the contrast of having some slightly larger Oreo chunks in the finished cheesecake bites.
    • When dividing the cheesecake mixture amongst the twelve holes, I aim for 2 tablespoons of filling for each hole. I also found that my old-fashioned ice cream scoop is just the right size and is a bit less messy!
    • Once the cheesecakes start to cool they will sink slightly in the middle. This is normal.
