Mini Pumpkin Oreo Cheesecakes

Print Recipe

Delicious mini cheesecakes that combine pumpkin and Oreo cookies, perfect for fall celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (plus more for crumbled garnish, optional)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus more for garnish, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade, for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin pan(s) with 12 cupcake liners. Set pan(s) aside.
  2. Using a food processor (or ZipLoc bag + meat tenderizer), crush Oreo cookies until they become a fine crumb.
  3. Add crumbled Oreos to a medium bowl, then pour melted butter on top. Use a fork to mix and mash until the butter is absorbed. Set the bowl aside.
  4. Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer + large bowl), whip together cream cheese and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-4 minutes.
  5. Reduce the mixer speed to low and blend in pumpkin puree, egg, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy, about another 2-4 minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
  6. Scoop up about 1 heaping tablespoon of Oreo crust, then pour it into one of the cavities in the prepared muffin tin. Press down firmly to create a solid, even layer of Oreo crust. Repeat this step until all of the Oreo crust has been used.
  7. Scoop up about 3-4 tablespoons of pumpkin cheesecake and pour it over the Oreo crust in one of the cavities, gently leveling out the top. Repeat this step until all of the pumpkin cheesecake has been used.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until edges appear set (a slightly darker color).
  9. Allow cheesecakes to cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, transfer mini cheesecakes to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour. If desired, decorate mini pumpkin Oreo cheesecakes with whipped cream, pumpkin pie spice, and more crumbled Oreo cookies.
  11. Serve as desired.

Notes

These cheesecakes are best served chilled and can be topped with whipped cream and extra crumbled Oreos.
