This mini Oreo cheesecake recipe is like Oreos combined with your favorite cheesecake combined with peanut butter cups! They’re super easy to make and absolutely delicious!

Three mini Oreo cheesecakes stacked on top of each other

I love mini things. From these mini cheesecakes I made for the 4th of July a few years ago to mini pumpkin cinnamon rolls and even mini pizza pies – there’s just something about minis.

And I love Oreos. These easy Oreo truffles are one of my personal favorite new recipes I’ve shared this year.

And who doesn’t love cheesecake? I mean there’s a reason these pumpkin cream cheese muffins and this sopapilla cheesecake is so popular!

Combine all three of those things together with a little peanut butter swirl (like in these s’more bars) and you get this yummy mini Oreo cheesecake recipe!

Why you’ll love this recipe

  • Oreo crust – anything is better with an Oreo crust, well except maybe homemade apple pie.
  • Peanut butter swirl – the peanut butter swirl makes these taste almost like a peanut butter cup, but with cheesecake!
  • Super easy to make – crush the Oreos, mix the filling, and bake. That’s it!
  • Easy to make ahead – these store great in the fridge until you’re ready to serve them. Make them the day ahead to lessen your cooking on actual event day!

Ingredients

Ingredient Notes

  • Almond extract – I love the smell of almond extract, and it adds a nice little pop of flavor to this mini Oreo cheesecake.
  • Oreos – you can use any Oreos in these, but I recommend ones without a strong filling flavor (e.g., not peppermint) since the filling flavors tends to stay on the cookies. If you have leftovers, try out these layered brownies with the extras!
  • Peanut butter – make sure this is creamy peanut butter, and I’d recommend staying away from the all natural sugar free stuff that really separates. You want it to be nice and creamy without having to mix it all together.
  • Cream cheese – use the full fat, full sugar kind since it’s such a key component of this dish. It is cheesecake after all.
  • Butter – you want unsalted butter that’s melted to mix with the crumbs.

Instructions

Before you start making the cheesecake, preheat your oven to 325°F and line a muffin pan with paper liners. The liners will help your Oreo crusts stay together when baked.

Start by turning your Oreos into Oreo crumbs by pulsing in a food processor until they are crumbs.

Oreos in a food processor

Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter together for the crust. Divide mix evenly between muffin cup liners and press firmly to form the crusts.

Make the cheesecake by beating the cream cheese and sugar together for about minutes.

Add the eggs, peanut butter and almond extract and mix until smooth and fluffy.

Oreo cheesecake batter

Pour some cheesecake mixture over crust in each individual cup.

Put them in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. They’re done when the cheesecake just starts to brown.

Expert Tips

You can buy store-bought Oreo crumbs, just like graham cracker crumbs, if you don’t have a food processor. Otherwise, I typically use the cookie part of 12 Oreos.

Process the Oreo crumbs until they’re crumbs, not big chunks. You want it to combine well with the butter and turn into a nice crust.

Press the crust down lightly with a flat measuring cup to create a flat and secure crust. Add your cheesecake filling on top.

Don’t over bake. Remove from the oven as soon as they start to brown.

Recipe FAQs

How do you know when a mini cheesecake is done?

The mini cheesecake will start to get brown on the top. Take them out as soon as they begin to brown so they don’t over bake and get tough.

How do you keep mini cheesecakes from sinking?

The top of these cheesecakes will sink slightly but otherwise the combination of the ingredients, including the peanut butter, should bake fine without sinking.

What do you add on top of mini Oreo cheesecake?

These would be great topped with crushed Oreos, a chocolate drizzle, or for the holidays – a couple of sugared cranberries.
