    The cream cheese helps bring out the delicious flavor of the Oreos and the Oreo crumbles. The sliced-up strawberries you'll find decorating these mini cheesecakes are the perfect finishing touch!

    If you’ve been following me for a while, you already know how much I love cheesecake – like this no-bake chocolate ricotta cheesecake — but one of the best parts about this simple recipe is it makes the perfect little portion sizes!

    It's a great treat to prepare for parties, especially. Not only are these mini cheesecakes sure to be a big hit among your guests, but if you happen to have any leftovers at the end of the night, you can easily pop them into the freezer and enjoy them later!

    🥘 Ingredients

    • Oreo Cookies 
    • Unsalted butter - melted
    • Cream Cheese - use room temperature cream cheese
    • Powdered Sugar 
    • Heavy Whipping Cream 

    Optional - Decoration

    • Fresh berries - in our recipe, we used fresh strawberries.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 Instructions

    We start with creating a homemade crust by crushing 30 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs — you can do this with a food processor or by throwing them into a plastic bag and using a rolling pin. Once the cookies have been sufficiently pulverized, you're going to add your melted butter to ⅔ of the cookie crumbs and mix well in a mixing bowl. You'll need to set aside the remaining ⅓ of Oreo crumbs for the cream cheese filling.

    Next, cover the bottom of each pan with parchment paper, and then tightly pack the crushed Oreo and butter mixture over it. Take special care to evenly cover your crust in each cake pan.

    Combine the Oreo cookie crumbles with the melted butter.

    Leave the Oreo cookie crust in the refrigerator until the cream cheese filling is ready.

    Next, the creamy cheesecake filling

    With your Kitchen Aid or hand-held electric mixer, mix your heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Once you have those soft peaks, go ahead and grab a large bowl. In this bowl, you'll be beating the cream cheese until it becomes nice and creamy.

    This way, you can avoid those horrible lumps of cream cheese!

    From there, you'll need to add in your powdered sugar and beat the mixture for another 2 minutes.

    In this bowl, fold in the rest of your Oreo cookie crumble, followed by your whipped cream. Once everything has come together, you're going to cover your Oreo crusts with the Oreo and cream cheese mixture, and be sure to even out the tops using a rubber spatula.

    The last thing you'll need to do before throwing your mini cheesecakes in the freezer for a few hours is to sprinkle some cookie crumbs (about 6 Oreos should work fine) over each individual cake to cover them.

    These Oreo crumbs, on top, look adorable and give the perfect base to really set off the intense red of the strawberry decoration.

    Before freezing, we recommend covering the mini cheesecakes with plastic wrap.

    Keep your mini cheesecakes in the freezer for at least 3 hours, so the cheesecake can firm up well, then release the sides of the pan.

    After thawing, decorate this five-ingredient dessert using fresh fruit — in our case, a strawberry — and serve ice-cold but not frozen.

    🥜 Substitutions

    Replace the Oreo cookies with Biscoff cookies (the ones filled with chocolate cream, Biscoff cream, or vanilla cream). These offer a completely different, caramel-laden taste experience.

    🍽 Equipment

    • Electric Hand mixer or Stand mixer with a whisk attachment
    • Food Processor/Electric Chopper 
    • Parchment Paper
    • Mixing Bowls 
    • Rubber spatula
    • 4x10 cm // 4x 4-inch springform Pan or one 9-inch springform pan
    • Plastic wrap or aluminum foil

    🌡 Storage & Tips

    These mini Oreo Cheesecakes will only last 3–4 days in the fridge, but after assembling, you can also store those little darlings in the freezer for 3-6 months! 

    Store leftovers in die freezer and enjoy them later. 

    In order to get the perfect texture, I recommend defrosting these little sweet treats in the refrigerator.

    After they've spent at least 3 hours in your freezer, switching them over to the fridge to defrost helps give them the perfect texture and temperature when eaten afterward. Simply divine!

    🙋🏻 FAQ

    Why is my no-bake cheesecake not firm?

    Not all cheesecakes need to be baked, but in order to get the perfect texture, you’ll need to put your no-bake cheesecake in the freezer for at least three hours – but preferably overnight! If you skip this crucial step or cut short on the time needed, your cheesecake will be more like a cheesecake pudding mix.

    Do you need to bake the crust of a no-bake cheesecake?

    A no-bake cheesecake recipe really means you don’t need to bake a thing! You won't need to pop anything in the oven or let things cool on a wire rack. You don’t need to buy a pre-baked crust, either. This Oreo Cookie Crust can all be assembled right on your kitchen counter. The only thing you’ll need to do to get the perfect texture is pop it in the freezer for the right amount of time. If you can, try to refrigerate overnight.

    How long do no-bake cheesecakes last in the fridge?

    No-bake cheesecakes typically only last a few days in the fridge. These particular no-bake Oreo mini cheesecakes should only be kept in the fridge for 3–4 days after baking, but you could extend the shelf life of this tasty dessert by storing it in the freezer! In the freezer, it can last up to 3 — 6 months! 

    What is the difference between a baked cheesecake and a no-bake?

    One of the main differences between a baked cheesecake and a no-bake cheesecake – besides the fact that one of them doesn't go in the oven – is the use of eggs. A no-bake cheesecake does not use any eggs and is dependent on getting its texture from time spent chilling in the refrigerator or freezer.
    Some people argue that baked cheesecakes are superior because of their dense, fluffy texture, but I'd make the case that each sweet dessert is delicious in its own right. I'm also a big fan of no-bake cheesecakes because you don't have to wait for it to cool completely after you cook it.

    Is no-bake cheesecake just as good?

    The question of which is better — a classic cheesecake or a no-bake cheesecake — really all comes down to personal preference. Personally, I think they're both delicious! The textures are slightly different, with a baked cheesecake taking on a more dense, fluffy texture, and they don't use the exact same ingredients, so feel free to put them up to a blind taste test!
