These mini cheesecake bites are a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing dessert perfect for graduation parties, featuring creamy cheesecake topped with Oreo cookies shaped like graduation caps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup (135 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) all-purpose flour
  • About 40 mini Oreo cookies
  • Black decorating gel or edible marker
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease your mini muffin pan or line with mini cupcake liners.
  2. Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar, then beat in eggs one at a time. Mix well but avoid overbeating.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
  5. Fold in all-purpose flour gently with a spatula.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into each mini muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full (makes roughly 24 bites).
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until edges are set but centers are slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  9. Remove cream filling from each mini Oreo and place the cookie tops on each cheesecake bite as graduation caps.
  10. Draw tassels on the Oreo toppers using black decorating gel or edible marker.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks. Chill thoroughly before decorating. Removing Oreo cream filling helps caps sit flat. Can substitute almond flour and gluten-free Oreos for gluten-free version.
