How to Make the Oreo CrustThese no bake mini peanut butter cheesecakes are a completely adorable, creamy, salty-sweet peanut butter treat.

For the Oreo cookie crust, we’re basically making tart shells out of crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. First line a muffin pan with plastic wrap (you’ll need 1 or 2 sheets depending on the size of your roll), and press it down into each muffin cavity.

Then mix together the crushed Oreos and melted butter, and divide the mixture between the 12 muffin wells. You’ll press the mixture down into the bottom and up the sides about 1/2 way to create little tart shell shapes – then pop the pan in the freezer while you make the peanut butter filling.

The no bake peanut butter cheesecake is super easy to make and only uses a few ingredients.

  • Cream cheese
  • Powdered sugar
  • Peanut butter
  • Whipped topping (or you can use whipped cream)

Can You Use Fat Free Cream Cheese for Cheesecake?

I definitely recommend using full-fat, brick style cream cheese for this recipe. I found that other varieties were too soft and the cheesecakes didn’t really set properly.

How to Make Peanut Butter Cheesecake

To make the peanut butter cheesecake – first beat the cream cheese until soft, and then mix in the powdered sugar and peanut butter. Gently fold in the whipped topping – and then it’s time to assemble the cheesecakes.

You can either spoon the filling between the 12 Oreo crusts – or spoon the filling into a piping bag and swirl it on top of each. I used the piping bag and a round 1M tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can also spoon it into a large, heavy duty ziploc bag. Then cut off the bottom corner and use it as a piping bag.

Then pop them in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill, or the fridge if it’ll be longer before you enjoy them.
