Mini Tie Dye Cheesecakes
Well, I couldn’t get through this week of treats without doing another version of these Mini Cheesecakes. If you have never made these, please oh please make them! They are easy, cute, delicious, take very few ingredients and everyone LOVES them. One of my favorite go-to desserts when I’m short on time.
I jazzed these ones up a bit with some colorful swirls for Easter {and because it’s finally starting to feel like spring!}. If you have a baby or bridal shower coming up, you can color coordinate! How cute would that be? Little pink swirls for a baby girl? How precious! I love all sorts of parties celebrating anything…especially brand new babies!
Anyways, these Mini Tie Dye Cheesecakes are super simple to make even though they look a little more time-consuming than the regular ones. And by time-consuming, I mean an extra 5 minutes. See the photos below for instructions. I kid you not- easy breezy!
Main Ingredients Needed
That’s right, you only need 7, read SEVEN, ingredients to make these Mini Tie Dye Cheesecakes. Here’s everything you’ll need:
- Spring Oreo Cookies – these are seasonal to the Springtime but you can always use regular Oreo cookies!
- Cream Cheese – the main star of the show, this brings a lot of tangy creaminess.
- Sugar – to sweeten.
- Flour – for structure.
- Vanilla – to flavor.
- Egg – for structure and richness.
- Food Coloring – I used Wilton gel food coloring but you can also just use the food coloring you’d find at the store.
How to Make Mini Tie Dye Cheesecakes
For full details on how to make Mini Tie Dye Cheesecakes, see the recipe card down below 🙂
1. Preheat + Prep
Preheat oven. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and place one oreo cookie into the bottom of each. Set aside.
2. Make Cheesecake Mixture + Dye
In a large stand mixer, whip cream cheese with sugar and flour until incorporated. Stir in vanilla and egg. Scrape the sides and whip again until smooth. Scoop 1 tablespoon of cheesecake batter into four small bowls. Dye each bowl a different color according to preference. I chose rather bright colors.
Spoon the remaining colorless cheesecake batter between the 12 muffin tins evenly. Use the spoon or your finger to spread it overtop of the entire cookie.
3. Plop + Swirl
Drop small dollops of colored cheesecake batter into the muffin tins. Make sure they stay close to the edges and you have three colors per cake!
Using a toothpick, swirl the colors together. {Don’t do this too much or your colors will mix and you’ll have a weird-ish brown color!}
4. Bake + Cool
Bake until cheesecakes are completely set. Remove from oven and cool completely. Refrigerate until completely chilled, remove papers and serve.

[…] 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.} […]
