Oreo Tiramisu Cheesecake Bites are creamy, espresso-infused mini cheesecakes with a crunchy Oreo crust and a classic tiramisu twist. These easy, bite-sized desserts are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a sweet treat anytime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 whole Oreo cookies (original flavor, finely crushed)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
  • 6 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Optional: chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with parchment or silicone liners.
  2. Place 18 Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, use a zip-top bag and rolling pin. Mix crumbs with melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened.
  3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of crumb mixture into each liner. Press down firmly with a small spoon or the bottom of a shot glass.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and mix until just combined.
  5. Blend in heavy cream, vanilla extract, brewed espresso, and optional instant espresso powder. Beat until mixture is silky—do not overmix.
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling over each crust. Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until centers are slightly set but still a bit jiggly.
  8. Remove from oven, let bites cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, then chill in fridge for at least 1 hour (overnight is best).
  9. Once chilled, sprinkle each bite with crushed Oreos, dust lightly with cocoa powder, and add chocolate shavings if desired.
  10. Peel away liners and arrange bites on a platter. Serve chilled.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing the cheesecake filling. Chill bites thoroughly before serving for the best texture and flavor. Gluten-free or dairy-free substitutions work well. Add toppings after chilling to prevent sogginess. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
