Last week my hubby and I ate at the Cheesecake Factory. It is definitely one of our favorite places to go for a lunch date!!!

We always end up ordering an appetizer and two meals. I love their Chipotle Chicken Pasta, so that’s what I normally go with.

The servings there are HUGE! We could easily share just one meal and be content especially when there is cheesecake for dessert. But we always end up ordering too much and taking some home!

But I have such a hard time shelling out that much money just for ONE piece of cheesecake because I know we can make one at home that tastes just as good or better. (These Pumpkin Spice Latte Cheesecake Bites are one of our favorite mini fall desserts!)

Now don’t get me wrong we DID pull out the ‘ole wallet and just about had to give up our first born for those two yummy pieces.  And oh boy, were they ever delicious!!!

But our lunch date had me wanting to bake some homemade cheesecake at home. Since it is almost fall, I made a Salted Caramel Pumpkin Latte and dug out a can of pumpkin.  I get so excited for fall baking.

Tips for making Pumpkin Oreo Cheesecake:

Split an Oreo cookie in half and use each half for the top and bottom of each amazing pumpkin cheesecake.  Put half an Oreo cookie in the bottom of a cupcake liner, fill it with the pumpkin cheesecake filling, then press the remaining half of cookie into the top.

You can go ahead and leave the frosting on the cookie.  Just put the frosting side touching the pumpkin spice cheesecake batter.

Bake and cool the cheesecake cupcakes. Add the Cool Whip and crushed cookies to the top right before serving. Store the leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator, then you can enjoy a mini Pumpkin Oreo Cheesecake throughout the day. If you have any leftovers that is.

Pumpkin cheesecake and Oreo cookies…your fall parties will never be the same!

    mmm, Joce, that looks so yummy. This year, I’ve bought pie pumpkins and roasted them, freezing it for use through the winter. But, so far, I’ve only made soup and pancakes with the pumpkin. Maybe I’ll have to try your cheesecakes.

    I just took mine out of the oven — I had everything on hand (the oreos were supposed to be for cookies and cream cupcakes and the pumpkin for pumpkin ginger cupcakes but those aren’t until Friday!)

    Now i’m just trying to wait the 20 minutes for them to cool. They smell SO good.

    Great blog – I love it! Plus, I’m another Indiana gal! 🙂

    this sounds great. When you say mufflin pan is that larger than the cupcake pans? I made the brownie truffles that are pictured on your blog header and used white and choc. swirl kisses. They were a big hit. Thanks for your help letting me know about the pan.

    quick question about the use of the oreo:

    for the oreo used as the crust, do you use the entire oreo (both the cookie pieces and the filling?) Or do you just use one piece of the oreo?

    For the oreo on top of the pie, do you just use on piece of oreo?

    thanks, this does look good!

    I just made these tonight and they were not nearly as orange looking as yours. Did you dye the cheesecake batter with some orange food coloring? They taste great though. I think I might try adding some spices to the cheesecake part next time too.

    These looked absolutely fabulous and I ran to the store the second I found this recipe, but for some reason after following all the directions, they came out looking beautiful and literally shrinked down….

      Cheesecake always does puff up when baking and then shrinks flat when it comes out of the oven. Is that what you mean? They should still taste good. I actually just made another batch of these this week and they baked fine.

      I did not use any food coloring in my cheesecakes. (The lighting in my room may have affected the color, but I did not adjust it to make it look orange.) And yes, it is pumpkin puree that you will use.

    I am thinking of making these a day in advance. Would they store well for 24 hours (with doing the whipped cream just before serving)?

      No, I did not use any food coloring in these. I have found that different brands of pumpkin can affect the color because I have made them multiple times and had a few batches that were lighter. I also think the light in the room where I took these pictures made them look a little brighter.

      I always serve these with Cool Whip. If you don’t have a refrigerator at work, you could always try a canned cream cheese frosting. Actually any flavor frosting would work…

    A friend of mine shared this recipe a while back and decided to make them today for Thanksgiving this week. Really liked them and easy to make. I notice the recipe was change from the one I printed out before slightly. It now mentions flour and nutmeg. I didn’t add either of those but Im assuming the nutmeg was for some extra flavor and the flour was just to make it a little more firm?

    Reply

    • Jocelyn says

      November 24, 2015 at 6:05 PM

      Yes, I changed the recipe every so slightly after making them again recently. The flour just firms them slightly so they do not sink in the center, and the nutmeg just adds a little more spice for flavor. Either way though tastes great!!!

      Yes, these can be made ahead of time and kept in a sealed container in the fridge for a few days. Just add the Cool Whip and cookies before serving. I hope you enjoy them!

    Hi I’m wondering if I can make these a couple days ahead and store in fridge or if that’d make Oreos mushy if anyone knows?

      Yes, you can make them a few days early. Just keep them in an airtight container in the fridge, and add the extra Cool Whip and cookie pieces right before serving. I hope you enjoy them!

    Did anyone have an issue with the cooking time? I followed the time but they where definitely not cooked what size muffin tin was used I had the big muffin tin. They fell in the middle as well. Anyone know why? PS cooked in gas oven

      Hi, Marion. I have made these cheesecake multiple times and always use a regular muffin tin and bake them for 24 minutes. I’m not sure if there would be a difference with gas versus electric oven, but I do know that all ovens bake a little differently. The centers of the cheesecakes will fall in slightly but not too much. If you look at the one picture where the bite is taken out you can see how it is lower. Did you refrigerate them anyway and try them later? If so, how were they?
