25mini Oreos for decoratingand Oreo crumbs, if desired
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Line an 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract and beat until fully combined.
Add in 1 egg at a time and stir by hand until combined.
Fold in chopped Oreos.
In the bowl of a food processor, blitz Oreo cookies until broken down into fine crumbs. Add melted butter and run food processor until combined.
Press the cookie crumbles into an even layer in the base of the prepared pan.
Spread cheesecake mixture over the cookie crumb base.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the center of the cheesecake is just set and looks dry across the top (it will change from a wet sheen to more of a matte finish across the top). The cheesecake will still be slightly wobbly in the center. (If you'd like to place a pan of water on the oven rack beneath the cheesecake, it will add extra moisture to the baking environment and can help prevent cracking, though not necessary.)
Allow cheesecake to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes) and then place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
To make the whipped cream, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
After the cheesecake is fully chilled, lift by the parchment paper and place on a cutting board. Cut the cheesecake into 1-1 ½ inch squares.
Pipe whipped cream onto the tops of each cheesecake square and top with a mini Oreo cookie.

Notes
Storage:Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for 1 week or freeze for 2 months. Notes:If you over beat the batter, the cheesecake will puff and crack. This is also why I switch to a spatula when adding the first egg.Adding a pan of water on the rack under the cake will reduce the chances of it cracking. A graham cracker crust can be substituted for the Oreo crust.For ease, leave the cheesecake bites plain on top or use spray whipped cream for easy serving.
