This week, David and I will be going out for dinner for Valentine’s Day. It probably won’t be on actual Valentine’s Day because I’m not a fan of the crowds, but yeah, we’re still totally using it as an excuse to enjoy a date night out. Deciding on where to go was easy. We have a sushi restaurant fairly close to the house that we love. It’s all-you-can-eat sushi, which gives you plenty of opportunities to try new things. The part I like the best is that it’s not just sushi. You can get appetizers and other items, like pork belly or shrimp tempura.
Afterward we enjoy our sushi, we’ll go to to Target. Yep, you read that right: TARGET. No kids, just him and me, and that big red cart. Maybe we’ll grab a movie. Or if David gets his way, we’ll go bowling.
And when we get home, the dessert will be waiting for us: Mini Oreo Cheesecakes for Two.
Ingredients Needed for Mini Oreo Cheesecakes for Two:
- Oreos (6 – Crushed & 4 – Chopped)
- Butter (1/2 Tablespoon – Melted)
- Cream Cheese (4oz – Softened)
- Egg (1)
- Sugar (2 Tablespoons)
- Vanilla Extract (1/2 Teaspoon)
- Sour Cream (1/4 Cup)
- Optional Toppings: Oreos (2-3 Chopped) & Whipped Cream
Cooking Equipment Needed for Mini Oreo Cheesecakes for Two:
- Mini 4″ Springform Pans (2)
- Cooking Spray
- Food Processor
- Small & Large Mixing Bowls
- Small Baking Sheet
- Pastry bag & Star Tip (If you are topping it with Whipped Cream)
Sure, we could get dessert at the restaurant (it’s included), and sometimes we do, but by the time we enjoy all-you-can-eat sushi, the last thing you want is a bowl of green tea ice cream. But after Target and whatever else we’ll do, coming home to some cheesecake is a perfect (and delicious) end to our night.
Of course, these Mini Oreo Cheesecakes for Two don’t have to be for Valentine’s Day. They are wonderful all year long, whether it’s for another special day, or just because. This recipe is also great if you want cheesecake, but don’t want leftovers. And if you love cheesecake AND love Oreos, you will be be in mini cheesecake heaven with these.
This Mini Oreo Cheesecakes for Two recipe uses two mini 4″ springform pans. The ones I used are these ones: Wilton Mini Springform Pan, Set of 3. The recipe makes two small 4″ cheesecakes, which depending on your appetite can be two servings or more. If you want a smaller serving, two people could easily share just one of the cheesecakes. If you do this, I would either half my recipe or make the recipe as listed and freeze the 2nd cheesecake for later.
For this recipe you’ll need 12-14 Oreo cookies, but they will be divided and processed in 3 different ways. Some of the cookies will be finely crushed for the crust. I do this in my food processor. You’ll also need some chopped Oreos for the cheesecake batter. If you want to decorate the top, like I did, you’ll need a couple more and those are coarsely chopped.
After all of the Oreo prep work, you’ll mix up your batter and divide it between two mini springform pans.
The cheesecakes are baked and after they are finished and fully cooled, you are ready to decorate!
You can decorate any way you like, but I divided the coarsely chopped Oreos and placed them in a pile in the middle of each cheesecake. Then, I whipped up some heavy whipping cream and added it to a pastry bag with a Wilton Star Tip #32 and added little stars around the edges of the cheesecake.

Description
This Mini Oreo Cheesecakes for Two recipes will be the perfect answer when a large cheesecake is too much. Made in two 4″ diameter springform pans.
Ingredients
Crust
- 6 Oreos (crushed)
- 1/2 tablespoon butter (melted)
Filling
- 4 ounces package cream cheese (1/2 of an 8 ounce brick, softened)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 4 Oreos (chopped)
Optional Topping
- 2–3 Oreos (coarsely chopped)
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease inside bottom and sides of two mini 4″ springform pans with cooking spray or butter.
- In a small bowl, combine crushed Oreos with melted butter. Divide crumbs between the two prepared springform pans. Press crumbs evenly into the bottom of the pans.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until well combined. Add the vanilla and sour cream and beat until well blended. Add the egg last, beating just until it is combined with the other ingredients. Stir the 4 chopped Oreos into the batter by hand. Don’t overmix.
- Divide batter between the two prepared springform pans. Place the filled pans on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheesecake is filling is set. You will want it to be slightly jiggly in the middle – about a 1″ spot or so and it will appear moist, when compared to the edges.
- When done, turn off the oven heat, leave the cheesecakes in the oven and leave the oven door open slightly. Leave the cheesecakes in the for about 30 minutes. Then, remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. If desired, decorate with whipped cream and chopped Oreos.
