I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t like Oreo cookies. Who could resist cream-filled, chocolate sandwich cookies? Not Me! Especially the double-stuffed Oreo cookie, it’s one of the best cookies for dunking into a cold glass of milk.
I went out yesterday to do my weekly shop, came home, and before I was able to bring in the first grocery bag Matt was hunting for the cookies and cream ice cream. Much to his disappointment I forget to put it on the list and came home without it. Luckily I remembered the Oreo cookies. I could have made my own ice cream but unfortunately my freezer is jam packed and haven’t been able to fit the ice cream bowl into it for weeks.
One of Matt’s favourite desserts of all time is cherry cheesecake and I thought to myself why not Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes, that should satisfy his craving.
Plus these cheesecakes are super easy to prepare, everything comes together in one bowl and there’s no crushing chocolate wafers with a rolling pin, then melting butter, baking the crust first and then baking a second time when filled.
Drop an Oreo cookie into each muffin tin, make filling, add chopped cookies, bake, and enjoy, how easy is that?
One tip I will leave with you, keeping in mind this will be difficult, you must chill them for at least 4 hours, but if you can muster up the willpower, they are at their best if you can chill them overnight.
These are the perfect individual-serving delights for an office party, school treat, and would definitely be a hit for a kid’s birthday party. You can serve then plain or add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and top with a small Oreo cookie or sprinkle with crushed Oreo cookies.
Just a little warning, once you try these cheesecakes, there’s no going back, absolutely mouthwatering and scrumptious!
Oreo Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes
(from Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes)
Makes 30
- 42 Oreo, cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, 30 left whole and 12 coarsely chopped
- 2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 1 cup sour cream
- Pinch of salt
- Preheat oven to 275° F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Place 1 whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each lined muffin cup.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the sugar, and beat until combined. Beat in the vanilla.
- Drizzle in eggs, a little at a time, beating to combine and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add in sour cream and salt, beat to combine. Using a large spatula, fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
- Divide batter evenly among the cookie-filled muffin cups, fill each cup almost to the top. Bake, rotating muffin tins halfway through, until the filling is set, about 22 to 28 minutes. Transfer the muffins tins to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate (in the muffin tins) at least 4 hours (or overnight). Remove from tins just before serving.

Did you know oreos are “accidentally” vegan? It’s the processed comfort food of many vegans…and this recipe is definitely veganizable. I know, I know, not really a word, but I’m going with it. This looks like such a fun recipe. I can’t wait to try it!

so easy Marly, the cookies go a little soft after baking, tastes like you’ve dunked them in milk, so good

I love how the Oreo stencils the bottom of the white cupcake liner. Does it just do that after refrigerated? Or, did you add Pam or something to the liner?
Great shots!

Oh my god! I’m ogling at the pictures..love this!!

Thanks Gale, here’s the story, I saw a ton of photos of these little gems and you could clearly see the Oreo cookie in all the photos. Of course when I went to turn mine out, I couldn’t. You could clearly see the shape of the Oreo but very little definition. So I took a small pastry brush and dipped it in water and ran it across the bottom and voila you could see the definition. Not sure if my liners were a little thicker (Wilton brand) but I had to fiddle with it to get the shots. Next time I make the recipe I think I will go with a thinner, cheaper, paper liner and keep my fingers crossed. I thought once it dried the definition would disappear but it didn’t.

Oh these look and sound yummy!!
I love Oreos and usually take 3 double stuff, put them in the microwave for 10 seconds – until the middle gets warm and gooey – them take off the cookie part of two of them and spread their stuffing part onto one cookie…so gooood
