Mint Oreo Cheesecake Squares Jump to Recipe Leave a Review Pin Share Tweet Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!! Today I thought I would post mint oreo cheesecake squares in honor of St. Patrick’s day. Just a little warning about these handheld cheesecakes—-they are super addicting! They are creamy and minty and chocolate-y. Just thought I would warn you. These little treats do require some baking and chilling time but they are totally worth it. You’ll start by making the crust which is oreos and butter. Use your food processor to turn them into fine crumbs. Then add in your melted butter. Pat into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking pan and bake for 10 minutes. While that is baking start preparing the creamy cheesecake filling. You will need to beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy looking. This is easier when the cream cheese is at room temperature. Next add in the sugar and mix well. Then continue by beating in the eggs, cream, peppermint and vanilla. Then to top it off I roughly chopped some mint oreos and gently folded them into the cheesecake batter. Pour over the crust and bake for 40-45 minutes. The cheesecake will be set around the edges but the center will be a little jiggly. It will set up once it has cooled. To serve cut into squares and top with more crushed oreos and drizzle with some warmed fudge topping. MMMMMM Hope you enjoy.

Add in the melted butter and pulse until combined. Add to your prepared pan and pat out into an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes. While the crust is baking start preparing the cheesecake filling.
