Ingredients you need to make Oreo Cheesecake Cups:
- 6 oz light cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2.5 tablespoons sugar
- 1.5 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon light butter (I use Gay lea)

- 3 squares (30g) Lindt 70% dark chocolate
How to make Oreo Cheesecake Cups(step by step):
- Preheat the oven to 325F. Place 12 paper cup liners in a 12 hole regular size muffin tin, and place 1 Oreo thin on the bottom of each.
- In a bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, flour, butter, egg, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture into the 12 Oreo cups.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each.
- Drop a small amount of melted chocolate into the middle of each cheesecake, then use toothpicks to make a swirl effect.
- Bake the cheesecakes for 25 minutes.
- Let them cool completely, then chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours.

Different ways to change up this recipe:
- To make these even lower in points, use fat free cream cheese. It’s a zero point food and can be found at Walmart. Great Value is the only brand I’ve seen that offers fat free cream cheese.
- You can use Lily’s no sugar added dark chocolate baking chips instead of Lindt dark chocolate if you prefer. It would save a minimal amount of points.
- You can omit the chocolate drizzle and do a caramel drizzle instead if you prefer. I suggest Smucker’s sugar free caramel topping. You could also just add crushed Oreos to the finished cheesecakes for a cute topping.
Tips and Tricks for Making Oreo Cheesecake Cups:
- The longer you chill the cheesecakes, the easier they will come out of the paper liners. I suggest leaving them in the fridge overnight if you can. It saves time on the day of serving!
- Chocolate holds its shape even if it’s melted, which is why 30 second microwave intervals and stirring is so important. If you just stick the chocolate in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, it’ll burn.
- These cheesecake cups keep well in the fridge for up to 7 days. You can also freeze them in a sealed container for up to 3 months. I suggest making a large batch and freezing them so you can just pull a few out as needed.

Made these today and they are so lovely. Thank you for all you do my journey is easy because of you 🙂
You are very welcome, so glad you enjoyed the cheesecakes 🙂
You are so creative with the recipes ??❤️ I am obsessed with your blog! Thank you so much for creating and sharing!
Thank you so much Gail 🙂 I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes
Thanks! This looks so good!
Do you think these could be made without the cookie? What changes would you make in that case?
Thanks again! Love your recipes!
Hi Sara, the cookie provides a base for them so to speak, I’m not sure how they’d hold up without them
These look amazing…What can we make with the Thin Lemon? They are my favorite!!!
you could use the lemon cookies for these and maybe add some fresh lemon juice and zest to the cheesecake batter and leave out the chocolate
I just was thinking the same thing but was thinking of swirling raspberries into the cheesecake mixture!
Yum, sounds delicious!
Thx, they turned out great
Glad you enjoyed them 🙂
These were so much better than I was expecting!!! I’ll definitely be using the filling recipe again and tweaking it by using fruit. Love this!!!!
So glad you enjoyed them Kelly, I think there is lots you can do with the filling 🙂
I love all of your recipes! I want to make this for Easter and was wondering do you spray the liners with cooking spray like Pam prior to placing the Oreo thin in? I wasn’t sure if it will be soggy if I do that or it is not needed
Hi Donna, no I did not spray them, the key is letting them sit long enough in the fridge, don’t try taking them out too early, mine actually say overnight, it is not necessary but definitely for a few hours is best
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try this recipe.
Just saw this new to your blog. You got my attention with chocolate/cheesecake. Who can resist. Between you and Skinny Kitchen I can’t keep up! Hope to make these very soon. Thanks to all you do for us.
Hi Diane, happy you found me and I hope you enjoy all the recipes 🙂
Can I use non fat milk, that’s all I ever keep in the house
I think that will be fine 🙂
I was wondering if you could use Stevia in place of the sugar and also use skim milk instead of 1% milk. That would lower the points more for me.
Hi Tina, yeah I think you could but I am not sure on the points, you’d need to maybe build the recipe in your WW app
