Ingredients Needed for Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecakes

For these Halloween Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecakes, you should have most of these ingredients on hand which is always a bonus. You may have to pick up some of these Halloween Oreos and maybe some cream cheese, but other than that, everything else could be considered a pantry item. Here’s what you need:

• Cream Cheese – when making cheesecake I always use Philadelphia cream cheese! That brand just has something about it that makes for the perfect cheesecakes. Be sure to leave it out for a couple of hours to soften.
• Sugar – this is used to offset the tanginess of the cream cheese with sweetness.
• Vanilla and Pumpkin Puree – both are used as flavorings, although the pumpkin comes out a lot more than the vanilla.
• Egg and Flour – both of these are used for stability and structure.
• Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Salt – some seasonings to complement and bring out the pumpkin flavor.
• Halloween Oreos – these line the bottom and provide a sweet crunch.
• Chocolate Chips + Vegetable oil – melted together to make “spiderwebs” as decoration.

This isn’t my first mini cheesecake rodeo, here are two more for the books: Individual Oreo Turtle Cheesecakes and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Filled Oreo Cheesecakes.

How to Make Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecakes for Halloween

Halloween Oreo Pumpkin Cheesecakes are made up of three simple parts, the Oreo bottom, the pumpkin cheesecake, and the chocolate spiderweb top! For full details, including measurements and baking time, see the recipe card down below.

1. Preheat the oven and line a muffin tin with cupcake paper liner.
2. Drop an Oreo in the bottom of each liner.
3. Whip up some cream cheese with pumpkin, spices, and a few other cheesecake culprits like eggs and sugar. Spoon that over the Oreos and bake!
4. I did a fun spiderweb design on the top with melted chocolate but that is optional. If you opt-out of the spiderweb design, consider topping these with homemade whipped cream.

Keep them in the fridge until you are ready to serve!  Told you it was easy!

How to Make the Chocolate Spiderweb Design

This fancy design is actually quite easy to achieve! But if you are still worried about it, I’ve got step-by-step instructions down below 🙂

1. Once oreo pumpkin cheesecakes are completely cooled remove from the muffin tins and the paper liners.
2. Microwave chocolate chips and vegetable oil until smooth and completely melted.
3. Spoon melted chocolate into a piping bag with a small round tip or into a Ziploc bag with one of the corners snipped off.
4. Pipe three a swirl on top of cheesecakes. Drag the end of a toothpick through the chocolate (from the center to the edges) to create a spider’s web look.
5. Repeat with remaining cheesecakes. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
