These mini rainbow cheesecake bites feature a buttery Golden Oreo crust and vibrant, creamy layers of cheesecake, perfect for parties or everyday treats. They are quick, easy, and delightfully colorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Golden Oreos, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • Gel food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Crush Golden Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin in a sealed bag.
  2. Mix crushed Oreos with melted unsalted butter until mixture holds when pressed.
  3. Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with parchment paper or silicone liners. Press about 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of crust mixture into each cup evenly.
  4. Bake crusts for 7-8 minutes until slightly golden and set. Remove and cool.
  5. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy (3-4 minutes).
  6. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream until silky.
  7. Divide batter evenly into 6 bowls. Add a different gel food coloring to each and mix gently to achieve vibrant colors.
  8. Layer the cheesecake bites by spooning about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of each colored batter over the crusts in order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
  9. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 15-18 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly.
  10. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to set.
  11. Remove from tin, peel off liners, and serve chilled.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Avoid overmixing after adding eggs to keep batter light and prevent cracks. Baking at a lower temperature prevents cracking and keeps bites creamy. Chill bites for at least 2 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and vegan cream cheese. For gluten-free, use gluten-free golden vanilla cookies.
