How to Make It
Prepare these delightful cheesecake bites in just a few simple steps.
Prepare the Cupcake Liners
Place 12 paper cupcake liners into a muffin tin. This will serve as the mold for your cheesecake bites.
Assemble the Oreo Base
Add one Oreo thin to each liner and set aside. This will provide a crunchy base for the creamy filling.
Beat the Cream Cheese
In a medium size mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy with a hand mixer. Make sure no lumps remain for the best texture.
Combine Other Ingredients
Add in the salt, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Continue beating until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is creamy.
Mix in Crushed Oreos
Pour in the remaining 12 crushed Oreos and beat until everything is mixed evenly. The crushed cookies will add delicious bits of flavor throughout.
Fold in Cool Whip
Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until the ingredients are fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture too much during this step.
Scoop and Freeze
Evenly scoop the cream cheese mixture into each liner and top with additional crushed Oreos, if desired. Freeze for 3 hours before serving to achieve the right texture.
How to Store It
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Yes, they freeze well!
Reheat: No reheating needed; serve straight from the freezer.
Tips for Best Results
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easy mixing.
