Decadent Mint Oreo Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake has always been a favorite of mine. I love the thick and creamy texture of it. And making various flavors of cheesecake is also a favorite. This mint chocolate version is such a wonderful way to enjoy those flavors. You’ve got the crunchy chocolate Oreo crust, the rich, creamy mint cheesecake filling layered with mint Oreos and gooey chocolate sauce, and then finally the chocolate ganache and chocolate whipped cream. Every bite is full of flavor and texture and should be savored.

And mint and chocolate are easily one of the most classic flavor combinations. You can find it in many forms on my site from recipes like my Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes and Mint Chocolate Layer Cake, to my Mint Oreo Icebox Cake. I even have a mini version of this cheesecake with these Mini Mint Oreo Cheesecakes. Every one is wonderful and worth your attention, but this Mint Oreo Cheesecake is the star today.

The Best Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

Got chocolate cravings? This baby is the perfect cure. A classic, buttery Oreo crust serves as the base for this decadent cheesecake. On top of it sits the richest, creamiest chocolate cheesecake filling I have perhaps ever tasted. Made with cocoa powder and actual melted chocolate, it is wonderfully thick and lacks nothing in the realm of chocolate flavor. The tangy, chocolaty filling is topped with a rich chocolate ganache, fluffy homemade chocolate whipped cream, and elegant chocolate curls. Smooth, creamy and loaded with chocolate flavor from start to finish, this cheesecake will definitely be a hit.

Sure cheesecake takes time, but this one’s worth it. Trust me. If you’re looking for more chocolate-loaded cheesecakes, check out my German Chocolate Cheesecake or this Guinness Chocolate Cheesecake.

Easy Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes

You are in for a fall treat! These cute mini cheesecakes are bursting with caramel apple flavor and are the perfect dessert to bring to your next gathering. They are made with a classic graham cracker crust, a layer of my favorite caramel sauce and rich and creamy vanilla cheesecake. They are then topped with cubed apples that have been cooked in cinnamon and nutmeg and drizzled with even more caramel sauce. You will fall in love with how tasty these are!

I love that these mini cheesecakes are so much quicker to make than a traditional cheesecake and are much more hassle-free. The inspiration came from my Salted Caramel Cheesecake, which also has caramel sauce in the filling, but is a full sized cheesecake and takes longer to make. These mini versions bake up and cool in a fraction of the time and are so delicious with the addition of apples. Plus, you don’t have to worry about water baths, springform pans, or messy slicing.

Rich & Creamy Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Recipe

I absolutely love cinnamon rolls (and really anything cinnamony). I also love cheesecake. A lot. This cinnamon roll cheesecake marries the two concepts beautifully. From the cinnamon crust to all the cinnamon in the filling, this cheesecake is a cinnamon lovers dream come true. Four layers of thick, creamy cinnamon cheesecake are layered with a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon filling (just like the one you’d find in a cinnamon roll!). To mirror a cinnamon roll even more, it’s topped with a rich cream cheese frosting, just like you’d get on a fresh cinnamon roll from your favorite bakery or your grandma’s kitchen. And, let me tell you, it’s divine.

I tested this cheesecake a number of times, mainly playing with the amount of the cinnamon filling to add. I started with my classic cheesecake recipe and went from there. While I wanted there to be plenty of cinnamon filling, I didn’t want it to be too much. It’s truly perfect and the flavors are amazing. Just like a regular cinnamon roll is perfect with a cup of coffee, so is this cheesecake. It gives you the same flavors and warm feeling. It’s been a favorite of mine for a long time now.

If you love cinnamon rolls and you love cheesecake (like me) you have to try this delectable recipe. Short on time? Try my Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes instead. They deliver all of the goodness in a fraction of the time and make for the perfect sharable dessert. You could also try my Cinnamon Roll Layer Cake, Cinnamon Roll Cookies, Cinnamon Roll Snack Cake or Cinnamon Roll Blondies for more cinnamon roll inspired treats.

Easy Strawberry Brownie Cheesecake

Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. A classic combination. This brownie-bottom cheesecake does it right. The base of this delicious dessert is a wonderfully dense and chewy brownie that’s super easy to throw together. It’s perfectly moist and oh so chocolaty. The brownie is topped with a smooth, creamy no-bake vanilla cheesecake that has a wonderful tang to it. The cake is finished off with a layer of luscious whipped cream and a pop of sliced fresh strawberries. Swoon!

Not only is this cheesecake absolutely delicious, but it’s surprisingly simple to make. The brownie base doesn’t require any fancy mixing strategies and the cheesecake filling doesn’t require any baking. Plus, as simple as it is, it’s so refreshing and light – even with a brownie base. It’ll surprise you with how good it is and keep you coming back for more.
