From the crust to the filling to the whipped cream topping, these mini Oreo cheesecakes are absolutely loaded with Oreos. They are a perfectly easy, sharable solution for cheesecake lovers who want to skip the baking and get straight to delicious.
Easy No Bake Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
No bake mini Oreo cheesecakes combine two of my favorite things. Cheesecake and Oreos. A crunchy yet somehow perfectly moist Oreo crust serves as the base for a light, fluffy cheesecake that is absolutely packed with Oreo goodness. The whole thing is then topped off with a swirl of Oreo whipped cream and (you guessed it) another Oreo. If you can think of more ways to pack these favorite sandwich cookies into a dessert, please let me know.
I love these cute little no bake cheesecakes because they deliver all of the yum of my Ultimate Oreo Cheesecake or my Best Oreo Cheesecake but require less work, zero oven time and they make sharing a piece of cake (or a piece of mini cheesecake) super easy.
What You’ll Need
Here is a list of ingredients needed to make these no bake mini oreo cheesecakes. Oreos, Oreos, some other things, and more Oreos. Scroll to the recipe below for more details on measurements, etc.
Crust
- Oreo cookie crumbs – If you would like to mix it up, you can use vanilla oreo crumbs instead.
- Butter – To hold the crumbs together.
Filling
- Cream cheese – The cream cheese should be at room temperature. It will incorporate with the other ingredients better, leaving you with a smooth, clump-free filling. Be sure to use brick-style cream cheese.
- Sugar
- Sour cream – The sour cream should be at room temperature so it incorporates more easily with the other ingredients.
- Vanilla extract
- Heavy whipping cream – Make sure the whipping cream is cold. It will not whip up properly if it is not.
- Powdered sugar – To help stabilize the whipped cream.
- Oreo crumbs – I love the classic Oreo here but if you are looking for a change, try using a different flavor! Vanilla and mint are my favorites.
- Chopped Oreos
Whipped Cream Topping
- Heavy whipping cream – The heavy whipping cream must be cold in order to whip up properly.
- Powdered sugar – This stabilizes the whipped cream so that it never wilts.
- Vanilla extract
- Oreo crumbs – You could use other crumbled cookies here as well. Try Graham Crackers or chocolate chip cookies.
- Oreos
How to Make Mini No Bake Oreo Cheesecakes
These delightful treats are so simple to put together. They are way easier than making a whole cheesecake and taste just as delicious in their own right. Here is a breakdown of how to make them. Scroll to the recipe below for more detailed instructions.
For the crusts
- Make the crust. Mix together the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter.
- Divvi it up. Divide the mixture between well-greased cupcake liners (I use non-stick spray) in cupcake tins and press into the bottoms of the liners to form a crust.
- Chill in the refrigerator.
For the filling
- Mix. Mix. Mix. Combine the cream cheese and sugar and mix before adding the sour cream and vanilla extract and mixing again until smooth.
- Whip. In a separate bowl, whip together the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, and fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold in the Oreo crumbs and chopped Oreos.
- Fill the cupcake liners with the Oreo cheesecake filling.
- Chill. Refrigerate the cheesecakes for 3-4 hours.
Whipped cream and assembly
- Whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and Oreo crumbs until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble. Pipe a swirl of whipped cream onto each mini cheesecake and top with a whole Oreo.
Tips for Making Mini Cheesecakes
I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t leave you with a few drops of knowledge to apply when making these no bake cheesecakes. Follow these tips and you’ll have a dessert to die for.
- Grease the cupcake liners. It might seem like overkill but trust me. You will have a much easier time removing the liners when it’s time to enjoy.
- Start with room-temperature cream cheese. If the cream cheese is too cold, it will not incorporate as well with the other ingredients, leaving you with a lumpy filling.
- Start with cold heavy whipping cream. Room-temperature whipping cream will not incorporate air as well as cold whipped cream and, no matter how hard you whip it, it will not reach the stiff peak state necessary for this recipe. So start cold.
- Fold gently. The point of whipping the cream into a frenzy is to add a lightness to the cheesecakes. The more/harder you mix the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling, the more the air incorporated into it during the whipping process will escape, leaving you with a denser filling. So be gentle.
- Don’t skip the chill. It might be tempting to dive right into these delectable goodies but I advise against it. Allowing them to chill in the refrigerator for several hours will give them a chance to firm up. If you skip this step, you will have a melty, fall-apart-y dessert.
How to Store Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
When you are ready to serve these Oreo-packed mini cheesecakes, I suggest removing the wrapper. It makes them more accessible to the consumer. I think they look prettier unwrapped too.
If you are looking for something to accompany this mind-blowing dessert, I suggest keeping it simple. Serve them with a glass of milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or this Easy Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce.
How to Store Leftovers
In the off chance that you have leftovers or if you are just making these awesome desserts ahead of time, arrange them in a single layer in an airtight container, seal, and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I suggest waiting to top them with Oreos until you are ready to serve as the Oreos will get soggy as they sit.
Can I Freeze These Mini Oreo Cheesecakes?
You can! Seal the cheesecakes in an airtight container (in a single layer, sans Oreo cookie topping) and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for several hours before topping with Oreos and serving.

Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup (134g) Oreo cookie crumbs (from about 10 Oreos)
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
Filling
- 12 ounces (339g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (104g) sugar
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp (150ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 6 tbsp (43g) powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup (100g) Oreo crumbs (from about 8 Oreos)
- 8–10 Oreos, chopped
Whipped Cream Topping
- 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/4 cup (29g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
For the crusts
- Add cupcake liners to a cupcake pan and spray liberally with a non-stick spray.
- Combine the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Divide the mixture between the cupcake liners and press into the bottoms.
- Place the crusts in the fridge while you make the filling.
For the filling
- To make the filling, mix the cream cheese and sugar in a large mixer bowl until combined
- Add the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Set aside.
- In another large mixer bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling.
- Add the Oreo crumbs and chopped Oreos and gently stir until combined.
- Divide the filling between the cheesecake cups until the cups are full. I found it was nice and easy to use a large piping bag to add the filling, but spooning it in would work as well.
- Refrigerate the mini Oreo cheesecakes until they are firm, 3-4 hours.
Whipped cream and assembly
- To make the whipped cream topping, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and Oreo crumbs to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.

They’re delightful!
I do have a question. Why no-bake? I see you have a mint Oreo mini recipe, but it’s for baking. I was looking for an Oreo mini cheesecake recipe here, but you only had the no-bake so I tried it. It’s so good, but I usually prefer baked cheesecakes better on average.
I’m glad you enjoyed them! For a baked version, you can actually use the mini mint Oreo ones and just replace the mint extract with vanilla and use regular Oreos instead of mint ones. I hope you enjoy it!
These look delicious. I’m planning to make these for an event. How far in advance can they be made?
They should be good for 4-5 days, so anywhere in that timeframe should be fine.
10 out of 10 delicious
I’m so glad to hear that!
When i remove the cupcake liner, the filling starts to melt over but the base still intact. Why are my cheesecakes filling still soft after refrigerated for more than 4hours?
It can be hard for me to say for sure from a distance. I would make sure you used full fat brick-style cream cheese. Tub style cream cheese and reduced fat cream cheese are both softer and won’t firm up as much. Also, be sure you used full fat, heavy whipping cream, which whips into a stiffer whipped cream. Assuming you’ve used full fat ingredients and measured everything correctly, they should firm up properly.
yeah as long as you used full fat ingredients in correct measurements the only other thing would be if you didn’t whip the cream for long enough until it was stiff.
Can these be frozen?
Yes, that would be fine.
Can I refrigerate the cheesecakes overnight?
Definitely
Hi!
I love your recipes. I was wondering for the no bake oreo cheesecake cupcakes. Can I half the recipe, or can I freeze the rest?
So glad to hear you enjoy the recipes! You should be able to do either – half the recipe or freeze some.
Are these made in a regular size cupcake pan or a mini cupcake pan?
Regular cupcake/muffin pan.
Recipe is great, will definitely make these again! There was a bit of extra cheesecake mix at the end, but I just ate it with a spoon!
This is the most delicious cheesecake I’ve ever had! Best recipe ever! Every time I make these, everyone loves them!!
This turned out so well! Had some trouble getting the cheesecake out of the wrappers but other than that they tasted so well!!!!!
