What Ingredients do I need?
- Oreos - Are a type of cookie made with two chocolate wafer cookies and a cream-filled center. They come in multiple flavors so feel free to change that up!
- Cream Cheese - to cut back on the calories I used reduced-fat cream cheese. If you really want to cut back use fat-free.
- Greek Yogurt - Adds a little protein to the cheesecake. Can sub an egg if you like.

- Vanilla - only use pure vanilla extract

Pro Tips for Mini Oreo Cheese Cakes
To get that perfect, crack-free bakery look, the absolute most important rule is to avoid over-mixing the batter once you add the egg.
Over-beating incorporates too much air into the cream cheese, which causes the mini cheesecakes to puff up like muffins in the oven and then sink or crack as they cool. Keep the mixer on low speed and stop the moment the egg disappears.
Storage
Once your mini cheesecakes have cooled to room temperature, place the tin directly into the refrigerator for at least three hours to let them firmly set. Store any leftover individual cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. They actually taste even better the next day as the bottom cookie absorbs a little moisture from the cheesecake and softens into a perfect, tender cake crust.
Serving Suggestions
These mini treats look absolutely gorgeous when served on a platter for a party. To dress them up, top each cheesecake with a tiny dollop of fat-free whipped topping and a miniature chocolate cookie wedge right before serving.
They pair beautifully with a cold glass of unsweetened almond milk or a hot cup of dark roast coffee.
