Protein No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Bites
A creamy, protein-packed no-bake cheesecake treat made with vanilla protein powder, fat-free cream cheese, and Oreo cookies. These bites are perfect as a cool, indulgent snack or dessert that you can prepare ahead and enjoy chilled or frozen.
Method
-
Let cream cheese and Cool Whip sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften.
-
Separate the Oreo cookies by scraping out the filling; set the filling aside and keep the Oreo cookies for the crust.
-
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to blend together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, powdered sugar substitute, and Oreo filling; add the protein powder last and mix until smooth.
-
Chill the cheesecake mixture in the fridge for 2-4 hours or overnight to firm up from a frosting consistency to a scoopable texture.
-
Place the Oreo cookies in a sealable bag and crush them into crumbs, then place crumbs into a bowl.
-
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop portions of the cheesecake mixture, drop them into the Oreo crumbs, and roll into balls until all mixture is used.
-
Place the formed cheesecake bites in the fridge or freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different protein powder if I don't have vanilla whey/casein?
Yes, you can use any flavored or unflavored protein powder, but vanilla works best to complement the Oreo flavor. A plant-based protein powder works as a vegan alternative.
What if I can't find Oreo Thins or regular Oreo cookies?
You can substitute with any chocolate sandwich cookies or chocolate wafer cookies for a similar texture and flavor in the crust.
Can I make these bites ahead of time and freeze them?
Yes, these cheesecake bites store well in the freezer and can be kept for several weeks. Allow a few minutes at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
How do I soften the cream cheese and cool whip if I'm short on time?
You can microwave the cream cheese for 10-15 seconds in short bursts, stirring in between, and let the cool whip sit at room temperature while you prepare other ingredients.
Can I mix the Oreo cookies whole instead of separating the cream?
Separating the cream helps keep the cheesecake batter creamy and balances the flavors. Using the whole cookie in the batter will affect the texture and sweetness.
