Oreo Cheesecake Bites
These Oreo cheesecake bites are cheesecake and Oreo bliss in bite-size form. Drizzled in white and dark chocolate, they are heavenly!
I love cheesecake. And I love Oreo cheesecake.
What could be better than combining my favorite components into bite-sized form drizzled with white and dark chocolate?
Pure heaven, my friends. Pure heaven.
I served these Oreo cheesecake bites with the delightful Key Lime Bars and the ever-so-decadent Caramel Brownies at a book group I hosted a month or so ago.
The cheesecake bites provided a delightfully creamy and luscious contrast to the other desserts at the table.
Personally, I could have eaten the entire plateful, but considering I had guests in my home, I tried to exercise some semblance of control.
We won’t discuss what happened to the leftovers when everyone departed for the evening.
What happens in my kitchen stays in my kitchen.
Over the years, these have stayed a huge favorite.
Just judging by the comments alone, I’m not the only one who loves these Oreo cheesecake bites to the moon and back.
For a cheesecake dessert, they are incredibly easy and a perfect recipe for cheesecake newbies and experts alike.
So many of you have made them for special occasions, family dinners, potlucks, it’s-been-a-hard-week-need-food-therapy moments.
Classic, every day Oreos work great…but so do Trader Joe’s brand of Oreos and even other add-ins.
Candy bars? Thin Mints? Sounds cliche but the options are pretty much endless.
Don’t forget about this recipe – it’s a keeper. Feel free to read through the comments to get an idea of many other reviews and variations and basically, a lot of gushing over these fabulous Oreo cheesecake bites.

Oreo Cheesecake Bites
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo Cookies, divided
- ¼ cup (57 g) butter
- 4 packages (8-ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (212 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (227 g) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 large eggs
- 4 ounces (113 g) semisweet chocolate
- 4 ounces (113 g) white chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil, with ends extending over sides. Finely crush 24 Oreo cookies. Melt 1/4 cup butter; mix with crumbs. Press onto bottom of prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each just until blended. Chop remaining cookies. Gently stir into batter; pour over crust.
- Bake the cheesecake for about 35-40 minutes or until the sides are set and the center is almost set. Cool completely on a wire rack in the pan.
- When the cheesecake is completely cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. When chilled, remove the cheesecake using the foil overhang and cut the cheesecake into bite-sized pieces. Place the cheesecake bites on a wax or parchment paper-lined baking tray.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate and white chocolate in separate bowls (I use the microwave on 50% power, stirring frequently). Pour the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag, one for the semisweet chocolate, one for the white chocolate. Snip a small corner off the corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the cheesecake bars.
- Chill the bars until ready to serve. Alternately, the drizzled bites can be frozen in an airtight container for up to a month. Let them defrost in the refrigerator and serve chilled.

I’m taking these to a party this weekend, and I’m wondering how best to transport them. It’s an hour away. Should I freeze them overnight Friday and then just let them thaw on the car-ride? How long do they take to thaw in the refrigerator?
also another tip, if you place the bottom of the plastic bag (for the chocolate on top) into a small glass to hold the bag, it works much easier if you are doing it by yourself.
first time I didn’t notice the hot water trick, but 2nd time I did and it worked like a charm! I made them today for my husbands work and added red food coloring to the cheesecake mix to make it pink, then also in the white chocolate and made it a real dark pink, they are super pretty! 😀 and delish!!
Linda – I’ve never baked them with greek yogurt so that call will have to be yours. I’m not sure how yogurt fares in a baked cheesecake. If you try it, let me know!
This looks so yummy that I’m gonna try and make it this week!! Do you think if I sub the sour cream with Greek yogurt it will still taste wonderful and come out right or should I just use the sour cream?

I made this for Thanksgiving to raves – Thanks for a delicious and easy cheesecake!
Thanks so much for this delicious recipe…instructions were very clear and the end result is amazing!! : )
I was wondering, if I made this in a springform pan would the calculations transfer over and would it fit in a spring form pan? How long would I cook it for?
I’ve made these before and they were a hit! So delicious.
AMAZING! Absolutely in love with these! SO good for parties !
I have made these twice now and love them! Both times I have made them a few weeks ahead of time and frozen them for upcoming parties. These freeze great!
About a month ago, I shared this recipe with a joke about who was going to make these for me for my birthday that would be soon. On my birthday, a good friend came to my door with them and they were amazing!
I made these today and they taste great but don’t look as pretty as yours. I made the mistake of chopping up my Oreos in the blender for the last step. They were too fine and it turned the cheesecake part mostly greyish with Oreo bits. But like I said, they still taste great! 🙂
So, the finished product was delicious! My husband, who is the cheesecake lover in this house, was wild about them! He was so impressed after I drizzled on the white/dark chocolates! Haha. I should have cooked them a bit longer (did about 38 min), as they were still a little gooey in the center of the pan. They were very messy to work with, but a wonderful and beautiful treat!!
I am in the process of making these right now. I can’t wait! But I am a little worried about how thick the cheese cake layer is. 4 pkgs. sounded like a ton, but I’m hoping it all works out! There in the fridge now. I’ll let you know…
oh my gosh! I am totally bookmarking this!
These look amazing. Can’t wait to try them. Thanks for the recipe.
These look AMAZING. Can’t wait to try them!
Sometimes at night when you’re supposed to be sleeping but find yourself sitting in the dark, trolling Pinterest on your iPad, you come across something wonderful
Mel, your blog was my wonderful thing tonight and these adorable petit fours are simply perfect!
Subscribing now before I wake up.
Thanks Mel, I’ll try that!
Michelle T. – usually I run my knife under really hot water, wipe it dry and slice the cheesecake. The subtle warmth on the knife helps slice the cheesecake cleanly.
i always thought petit fours were worthless, and at first these reminded me of those. i changed my tune pretty quickly, though, as these are far more outstanding (and much less of a hassle!). 🙂
Oh my goodness. You really don’t care about any one else’s waistline, do you! 🙂 These look absolutely divine. I will be making these soon!
This looks absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to make this recipe! 🙂
Thanks for sharing it!
The recipe looks delicious, I’m sure my husband will especially love it!
Do you have any tips on cutting cheesecake without it sticking to your knife? This is a problem I always seem to have. Thanks!
I can’t wait to try this recipe for our annual fundraiser for severely disabled kids. I tend to have crushed oreo cookies in the freezer(why I really don’t know), so I would love it if somesome made a chart of how many oreo cookies it takes to make 1 cup crushed. Someday I will figure this out, but it’s just one of those things I never get around to. Thanks for the recipe.
Mmmm! These sound absolutely heavenly! What could be better than Oreo’s and cheesecake… TOGETHER!?! I mean, seriously. Can’t wait to try it.
I absolutely love your blog! So many delicious recipes to try.
My blog is still pretty new but I’d love for you to check it out sometime if you get a minute.
Thanks again for this delightful recipe!
Those look so yummy! can’t wait to try them! Have fun on vacation!

Oh my goodness, these look amazing!
I’m on my way to the store!
these would’ve been a great addition to my cheesecake party last weekend! i’ll remember them for next time!
(and i can relate to demolishing leftover treats ;))
Wow! I wanna be in your bookclub. Or maybe I don’t, I may gain a few extra pounds, though I think it would be worth it. haha. These look Amazing!! You can never go wrong when you add oreos to anything, especially cheesecake. mmmm
These look so good!! I’m definitely going to try this. Lately, in my recipes that call for sour cream, I’ve been using plain Greek yogurt. It’s a delicious alternative and that is also on the healthier side. You should try it! Love your site!
Did you make these with the yoghurt? How did they turn out
You have GOT to be kidding me! These look delicious. Now I’m craving cheesecake at 9am. I need to try these, ASAP!
And here I was wondering what to take to girls night tonight…thanks!
Those look amazing! I can’t wait to try them.
I could lick the screen. These look amazing.

That’s the one thing about vacation…you can still help out where you are staying but when you get home ALL the chores! These look awesome and easy!
Yummy! I love cheese, I love Oreo. Gorgeous, a real treat!!
Scrumptious…just scrumptious! Does anybody use that word anymore? Well, that’s what these look and sound like to me. I bet they taste scrumptious, too!
I’m glad your’e having a great vacation! 🙂
These little bites were awesome I’ve made them twice and everyone wanted the recipe. I share what I cook and bake in my kitchen. It’s my favorite room in the house!!!
Adding these to my “to-make” list for when we are back in the US!! Enjoy your vacation!
These look amazing, glad you are enjoying yourself!
Simply gorgeous and very very tasty I’m sure.
