Ingredients

How to Make the Recipe
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
Step 2: Prepare the Oreo Crust
In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form a crust.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix until everything is well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake Bites
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared Oreo crust. Use a spatula to smooth the surface.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate Chips
Sprinkle all three types of chocolate chips—semi-sweet, white, and milk chocolate—on top of the cheesecake filling.
Step 6: Bake
Bake the cheesecake bites for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Step 7: Cool and Slice
Allow the cheesecake bites to cool before cutting them into bite-sized pieces. This helps the cheesecake firm up, making it easier to serve.
Tips for Making the Recipe
- Crush the Oreos well: Ensure the Oreos are crushed into fine crumbs for an even crust that holds together well.
- Let it cool: Be sure to let the cheesecake cool completely before slicing to avoid it falling apart.
- Don’t overbake: Keep an eye on the cheesecake while it’s baking; it’s done when the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Chill before serving: For an even firmer texture, chill the cheesecake bites in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving.
How to Serve
Serve these Triple Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Bites as a standalone treat or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence. They also make a great addition to dessert tables at parties, showers, or holiday gatherings. For an added touch, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce just before serving.
