Do you or do you not want to shove these babies into your mouth for breakfast? Seriously. How can I convince you to come eat the last 6 of these in my fridge right now? My thighs can’t handle any more of these. Yes, I eat them and yes I do my best to work them off but there’s only so much running a girl can do! Yikes.
Totally kicking my own trash at the gym today.
BUT, let me just say that as much as I hate certain workouts, these are the kinds of desserts that make it totally worth it!
Oreo + Cheesecake + Chocolate + Pecans + Caramel = need I say more?
And, the best worst part is you can whip these up in 10 minutes flat! TROUBLE, I tell you! All the oreo cheesecakes I’ve done take about 10 minutes to make and are just as ridiculous too. {Check out my Nutella Topped Red Velvet Oreo Cheesecakes, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Filled Oreo Cheesecakes and these Tye Dyed Oreo Cheesecakes.}
Here’s how you make this kind:
Line 10-12 muffin tins with paper liners and oreos. Everything good and holy starts with oreos!
Scrape some room temperature cream cheese into a large bowl and beat it up to get it all loosey goosey. Yes, that is a technical term.
Pour in some sugar and mix that in too.
Then you can stir in the vanilla
and plop in an egg.
Beat this for 30 seconds or so until a smooth cheesecake batter forms. Make sure to scrape the sides and mix again briefly.
Spoon this mixture over the oreos and set aside. I have deeper muffin tins, so I only filled 10. Just be aware!
Now for the topping, chop up some pecans and grab some mini chocolate chips too.
Sprinkle the tops with both and pop into a 325 degree oven.
After 15 minutes or so, the cheesecakes should be set and look a little pouffy. After you cool these to room temperature, they should flatten out. Peel the liners off and refrigerate.
Once they are nice and chilled, grab one
and drizzle lots of caramel sauce over like there’s no tomorrow.
Now DIG in! Hello lover. You taste mighty fine.
These were phenomenal. Loved them to pieces and am scared I’m going to eat the rest single handedly. Send help.

Individual Oreo Turtle Cheesecakes
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo Cookies
- 1-8 oz. package cream cheese at room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup store bought caramel sauce {use your favorite brand}
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Place one oreo cookie in the bottom of each tin and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whip cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Stir in egg and vanilla. Scrape sides and whip again until there are no lumps. Spoon cheesecake batter over oreos evenly. Depending on how deep your muffin tins are, you should get anywhere from 9-12 individual cheesecakes. Top with pecans and mini chocolate chips. Bake 15 minutes or until completely set. Bring to room temperature. Remove paper liners carefully and refrigerate until cold. To serve, place on serving platter and top with caramel sauce.

April 2, 2012 at 2:02 pmOh wow. I need these for breakfast!
Karan says
April 2, 2012 at 2:04 pmThanks a lot, Lauren. Now I’m going to have to make these tempting little cheesecakes – and will have to eat a couple. Maybe if i jog in place while mixing and while they are baking. . . . They sound yummy.
Megan Pence says
April 2, 2012 at 2:08 pmI’m feeling a very difficulty tearing and conflict of emotions right now. I’m torn because of my simultaneous loving and loathing of these – Loving these for obvious reason (duh!!) , and loathing because there is no amount of running, sit-ups, dog walking, Jillian Michael’s 6-week 6-pack I could do to get out from under the weight these gorgeous little bundles of joy and awesome would inflict on my waist line.
I still heart you and these all the same. Because who am I kidding – I would never be able to say ‘no’ to one (or six) of them.
Gimmegimmegimmegimme!!!
Lauren says
April 3, 2012 at 3:04 pmHaving one isn’t really that bad…when you’re on your 4th, you know you have a problem.
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
April 2, 2012 at 2:19 pmChocolate, cream cheese, Oreos…oh yes, these are perfect Lauren!

Emilie @ Emilie's Enjoyables says
April 2, 2012 at 3:28 pmThe fact that they are individually portioned i’m sure does NOTHING for the self control 🙂
Lauren says
April 3, 2012 at 3:06 pmNothing AT ALL. I had hope that it would….haha…ya right.
Nicole says
April 2, 2012 at 3:30 pmI’m looking forward to trying these! Beware, your blog may get a bit bogged down. I pinned this and is seems to be very popular!
Peggyinno says

Olivia Vickers says
April 2, 2012 at 4:43 pmLauren! These look awesome…I do have a question…will leaving the liners on until serving hurt the cheesecakes?
Ellen @ The Baking Bluenoser says
April 2, 2012 at 5:10 pmThese look incredible, as do all your oreo cheesecake recipes (which I have subsequently bookmarked, i’m in for some trouble..) Thanks for the great recipe!
Genêt says
April 2, 2012 at 6:07 pmOh Lauren, these are the perfect sweets to make this week with my kids while they’re on Spring Break. Thanks for sharing!
Cassie says
April 2, 2012 at 6:11 pmI’m such a fan of individual cheesecakes, much easier than messing with a springform pan. And this flavor combo I will take any day of the week.
Shari Ellis says

suzette says
April 3, 2012 at 12:12 amThese look amazing…so amazing in fact that I’m not making them. Ha! I cant even imagine how much more I would have to workout to burn these off…omg
Lauren says

Lauren at Keep It Sweet says

Kim (Feed Me, Seymour) says

Michelle says

Suzanne says
April 4, 2012 at 10:19 amI would have no willpower where these are concerned either. I would eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner until they were gone.
katie says
April 4, 2012 at 2:37 pmDamn you…. I think I must change my birthday dessert to this–just when I was content on settling for a cookie cake. These look unreal and because my birthday is saturday I don’t think any one will judge if I eat ALL OF THEM! 🙂
Mary says
April 5, 2012 at 12:24 amHas any one tried freezing these bundles of joy?
anonymous says
April 5, 2012 at 3:30 pmI LOVE the picture of the egg in midair- I don’t know why but it makes me crack up SO badly. Oh, and I honestly couldn’t live without this individual cheesecake!
Erika - The Teenage Taste says
April 5, 2012 at 4:06 pmYou’re right, these look dangerously good. In a so bad it’s good way of course. I could gladly take those remaining cheesecakes off your hands! 😛
Tina Stryde says
April 5, 2012 at 11:46 pmCan you freeze these??
Rebecca Davis says
April 7, 2012 at 1:13 amHad a wonder as I was making these tonight…Adding sweet cherry pie filling would almost be like a Black Forest Cheesecake…The possibilities would be endless….You ARE a culinary genius!
Candice says
April 10, 2012 at 3:26 amThese look heavenly! I need to make these soon…
