More tips for you

1. To make the crust you will first need to crush the cookies. You can do this in a food processor, good blender, or by placing the cookies in a large zip top bag and rolling a rolling pin over the bag to crush the cookies.
2. When you press the crushed cookies into place in the muffin cups, you can use something to help your press them into place. I like to use the back of cookie scoop that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick for example
3. The dairy ingredients should be at room temperature to ensure that the cheesecake filling can be blended to a smooth and creamy texture.

Try one of these ideas.

• Instead of regular chocolate Oreos, use another flavor. This can be a nice idea especially during the holiday season.
• Make the filling chocolaty by adding a small amount of unsweetened cocoa powder. You may need to add a small amount of extra dairy to balance it out.
• While my cheesecakes are topping with a sweet chocolate ganache, you can use the topping of your choice. An additional cookie or chopped nuts are just a couple of nice ideas for this.

Ingredients Needed to Make Mini Oreo Cheesecake Desserts.

Ingredients are listed below according the layers of the desserts.

Oreo Cookie Crust Ingredients.

• Oreo Cookies. Use regular stuffed for this crust. The oreo cookies should be crushed whole into crumb-sized pieces.
• Butter. The butter should be melted.
• Optional- vanilla extract for added flavor.

Cream Cheese Filling Ingredients.

• Cream Cheese. The bar cream cheese is recommended for this recipe. Have this softened to room temperature.
• Powdered Sugar. Granulated sugar does not work as well in this recipe.
• Greek Yogurt. Sour cream can alternatively be used.
• Oreo Cookies. The cookies used in this layer should be broken into chunks.

Chocolate Ganache Ingredients.

• Chocolate Chips. I like semi sweet for this as they melt better and more creamy than dark chocolate.
• Heavy Cream. This helps to make the ganache smooth.
• Optional- vanilla or other extract to balance out your flavors.

How to make Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes No Bake Recipe

Step One: make the crust.

1. Start by lining your cupcake pan with liners.
2. Crush the Oreo cookies (filling included) as indicated above. Then place the crushed cookies into a mixing bowl and cover them with the melted butter. You can stir the mixture until blended.
3. Use a tablespoon to place about two spoonfuls of the mixture into each of the prepared cupcake liners. Then use the backside of scoop or similar utensil to press the mixture into place.
4. Freeze the cupcake pan until the mixture is set (about 25 minutes).

Expert Tip👉 To prevent the cheesecakes from sticking to the cupcake liners the backside of the scoop, spray them with nonstick cooking spray first.

Step Two Make the filling.

1. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then mix in the yogurt.
2. Next, in a stand mixer, outfitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until it has thickened with stiff peaks ( about five minutes). When you start noticing the peaks, you can slowly add in the powdered sugar . Mix this until just combined as you do not want to over-mix the cream.
3. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the whipped cream from the last step into the cream cheese. Then fold in the Oreo chunks.
4. Evenly transfer the filling to the prepared Oreo crusts that you have refrigerated to set.
5. Place the cheesecakes into your freezer to set (at least two hours).

Expert Tip👉 Use an ice cream scoop to distribute the filling into the muffin cups. This will help you distribute the cream cheese filling evenly.

Step Three: add the ganache.

1. Once the filling has set you can prepare the ganache. In a saucepan on medium, heat the heavy cream until hot but, not bubbling (stirring as needed). Meanwhile, place the chocolate chips into a heat safe mixing bowl.
2. Once the heavy cream is hot, carefully pour it over the chocolate chips and allow the ingredients to sit for three minutes. Then stir or whisk the ingredients until smooth.
3. Use a spoon to top each of the cupcakes with the ganache and then top the ganache with any additional toppings as desired.
4. Let the cupcakes sit at room temperature for five minutes and then transfer them to your refrigerator to fully set (about a half hour).

Expert Tip👉 These no bake cream cheese filled Oreo cheesecakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. When you are ready to serve the cheesecakes, allow them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften😉 .
