Mini Oreo Cheesecake With A Sour Cream Secret

When making cheesecake, one of the fool-proof ways to ensure it’s going to taste phenomenal is sour cream.

The combination of cream cheese and sour cream creates a silky smooth texture to the mini cheesecakes. Pair that with the chocolate goodness of Oreo cookies, and you have a dessert you’ll add to favorite list.

There are also Oreo cookie pieces sprinkled throughout the cheesecake filling, so you’ll get a cookies and cream experience with this recipe.

Here are the key ingredients of this Mini Oreo Cheesecake:

• cream cheese
• sour cream
• pure vanilla extract
• eggs
• Oreo cookies, chopped into small pieces

Can I substitute the Oreo Cookies for Something else?

If you aren’t interested in having an Oreo crust, you can substitute them for any other sandwich cookie.

I’ve used sandwich cookies with a strawberry filling for a fun way to turn these into Valentine’s Day cheesecake bites.

We also love using Oreo thins in our desserts. Oreo Pumpkin Icebox Cake is a festive fall no-bake treat you’ll want to try.

Can I make this a different way?

You can try to make this as a full cheesecake. If you’d like to do this, double the measurements of each ingriedient, and bake the crust for 10 to 12 minutes.

Bake the cheesecake filling for at least an hour, or until the top is a light golden brown.

I highly suggest using a springform pan to make this a full cheesecake. Here’s the springform pan I use for things like cheesecakes, icebox cakes, and more: My favorite springform pan.
