Substitution

• Pumpkin Pie Spices: If you don’t have cinnamon, you can use pumpkin pie spices or pumpkin spice instead.
• Graham Crust: You can use a graham cracker crust instead of the Oreo crust for a different flavor.
• Heavy Cream: Add a dollop of whipped heavy cream on top of each cheesecake for extra richness.

Variation

• Chocolate Chips: Mix some chocolate chips into the cheesecake mixture for a chocolatey surprise.
• Spiced Up: Add a pinch of salt and a bit more pumpkin pie spices or pumpkin spice to the mixture for more flavor.
• Cupcake Liners: Use colorful cupcake liners in the muffin tin to make serving and cleanup easier.

Storage

Store any leftover cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cheesecakes. Wrap each one in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Top Tips

• For a more festive look, top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
• If you do not have crushed Oreos on hand, you can crush the whole Oreos and use a food processor.
• When you can, always use a bain-marie or water bath when baking this Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe. It helps in making the cheesecake have a soft and creamy texture because it is the steam which makes the texture of the cheesecake softer after baking.

Ingredients

• cream cheese
• sugar
• egg
• canned pumpkin
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• oreos
• butter

Equipment

• Non-Stick Mini Cheesecake Pan

Instructions

Once the ingredients are all ready and you have preheated your oven to 350 degrees F, let's begin!

In a medium-sized bowl, add Oreo cookies, butter, and mash till it is crumbly:

Place 1 tablespoon of oreo crumbs into the mini cheesecake pan:

The Oreo crust should be properly pressed so it would not fall off when you take it off the pan. I used a gallon lid in doing this:

For the oreo pumpkin cheesecake filling, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until it has no lumps. I used a stand mixer. Add sugar and continue mixing:

Add egg, vanilla extract, pumpkin, and cinnamon and mix:

Add cheesecake batter to the pan and fill to the top:

When you bake it, put the baking pan over a pan bain-marie, or simply known as water bath. Make sure the bottom of the baking pan does not touch the water in the other pan:

Bake for 15-20 minutes and allow it to sit in room temperature for one hour before serving:

Top with an Oreo and whipped topping and drizzle with caramel sauce. Yummy!

Since Thanksgiving is around the corner and I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, I decided to put my favorite cookie and some pumpkin together to make Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecake!  I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and the taste of the cheesecake, I hope you will too!  What's your favorite cookie?

Do you like Oreos?  Well, I love Oreos!  It is a cookie I can eat any time of the day including breakfast.  I don't know why, but I have always enjoyed having four Oreos and a cup full of soy milk.
