Ingredients

For the base:

• 12 reduced-fat Oreo cookies (one per cheesecake)

For the filling:

• 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
• ⅓ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ⅓ cup powdered sweetener or sugar substitute
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For optional topping:

• Light whipped topping or a dusting of cocoa powder
• Mini chocolate chips or crushed Oreo (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Place one Oreo cookie at the bottom of each liner.

2. Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt, mixing until well combined. Beat in the egg until just incorporated—do not overmix.

3. Fill and Bake
Spoon the filling evenly over each Oreo base. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until centers are just set. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

4. Garnish and Serve
Top with a small dollop of light whipped topping or a dusting of cocoa. Add mini chocolate chips or a pinch of crushed Oreo for an extra special touch.
