🧂 Ingredients for Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake Bites

For the Oreo Crust:

• 18 Oreo cookies – crushed into fine crumbs
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter – melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz cream cheese – softened
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• ¼ cup sour cream

👩‍🍳 Instructions: How to Make Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake Bites

Step 1: Prepare your pan and preheat.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or use a mini cheesecake pan.

Step 2: Make the Oreo crust.
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs (use a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin). Mix with melted butter until evenly combined. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each liner, pressing down firmly to create a crust.

Step 3: Beat the cream cheese mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter and sugar, and continue mixing until creamy.

Step 4: Add the eggs and vanilla.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Add sour cream and mix just until smooth—avoid overmixing.

Step 5: Fill and bake.
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly wobbly.

Step 6: Cool completely.
Let the cheesecakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before topping.

Step 7: Add the toppings.
Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Drizzle over chilled cheesecakes and sprinkle with crushed Oreos.

Step 8: Serve and enjoy!
Once set, peel off liners and serve cold. Store leftovers in the fridge or freeze for a make-ahead treat.

💡 Pro Tips for the Best Cheesecake Bites

1. Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the batter mix smoothly for a silky texture.
2. Don’t overbake: Mini cheesecakes should still jiggle slightly in the center when done. They’ll firm up as they cool.
3. Chill thoroughly: Cold cheesecake equals creamy perfection.
4. Add a swirl: For a fun look, swirl a little melted chocolate into the peanut butter batter before baking.
5. Use natural peanut butter carefully: If you use natural peanut butter, make sure it’s well-stirred and not too oily.

🍰 Fun Variations

• Chocolate Lover’s Dream: Use chocolate cream cheese or add ¼ cup cocoa powder to the batter.
• Peanut Butter Cup Version: Add chopped mini Reese’s cups to the filling or top with a peanut butter cup.
• No-Bake Option: Use the same crust and filling ingredients, but skip baking—just chill for 4 hours instead.
• Salted Pretzel Twist: Replace half the Oreos with crushed pretzels for a salty-sweet crust.

🎉 Serving Suggestions

• Top each bite with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce.
• Garnish with mini Reese’s or a small Oreo on top.
• Serve chilled on a dessert platter for parties, holidays, or potlucks.
• Pair with iced coffee or a cold glass of milk for the ultimate combo.

🧁 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
• Make Ahead: Bake the cheesecakes a day before your event, chill overnight, and top right before serving for the best texture and presentation.
