Ingredients

For the Base

For the Cheesecake Filling

• 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup light whipped topping (like Cool Whip Light)

For Garnish (Optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Base

• In a small bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until evenly combined.
• Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the mixture into each well of a mini muffin pan or silicone mold.
• Press down to form a compact crust and place in the freezer while you make the filling.

• Add vanilla and peppermint extract and mix to combine.
• Gently fold in the light whipped topping and crushed peppermint until well mixed.

Assemble the Bites

• Remove the crusts from the freezer. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over each crust.
• Smooth the tops and sprinkle with optional toppings like crushed Oreos or peppermint.

Chill and Serve

• Place the bites in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or freeze for 45–60 minutes if you want a firmer texture).
• Carefully remove from molds and serve chilled.
