Oreo Cheesecake Ice Cream Bites With Cottage Cheese

Save to Find It Later!

I’m actually super proud of this recipe because it mixed everything my husband likes: ice cream, Oreo, cheesecake and high protein cottage cheese (he doesn’t like the taste but likes the protein aspect lol).

If you’re craving a frozen treat that feels indulgent but is secretly high in protein, these Oreo cottage cheese ice cream bites are a game-changer. They’re cold, creamy, and have all the goodness of cheesecake—but with a lighter twist thanks to cottage cheese. And yes, they actually taste like cheesecake. These bites are made with crushed Oreos for the base, a smooth vanilla cottage cheese filling, and a half Oreo on top for that extra crunch.

I love this recipe because it’s so easy to throw together. You don’t need an ice cream machine or any fancy equipment—just a blender, a muffin tin, and your freezer. The texture is smooth and creamy, and the crushed Oreo base gives you that classic cookies-and-cream flavor with a bit of crunch.

They’re perfect for serving as a frozen dessert, a snack, or even a late-night sweet fix. And they store well, so you can make a batch and keep them on hand whenever your sweet tooth hits. These bites are fun to make, easy to serve, and deliciously satisfying without being overly heavy.

Tips for the Best Oreo Cottage Cheese Ice Cream Bites

• Use full-fat cottage cheese – It makes the texture creamier and closer to traditional cheesecake.
• Blend until smooth – The cottage cheese should be completely blended with no lumps. This is what gives the filling its rich and velvety texture.
• Don’t skip the salt – A pinch of salt helps balance the sweetness and makes the chocolate flavor pop.
• Keep the filling about 2 cm thick – This gives the perfect ratio of base to filling without overwhelming the texture.
• Thaw briefly before eating – Just 10 seconds in the microwave is all it takes to soften them slightly and bring out the best texture.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups (240g) cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 3 Oreos (to blend into the mix)
• 7 Oreos, crushed (for the base)
• 4 Oreos, split in half (for topping)

Instructions

1. Blend the Filling

In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and 3 whole Oreos. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

2. Crush the Oreos for the Base

Crush 7 Oreos and set aside. These will be used to form the cookie base for each ice cream bite.

3. Fill the Muffin Tray

Grab a non-stick muffin tray. At the bottom of each cup, spoon in the crushed Oreos to form a base layer. Press it down gently.

4. Add the Cottage Cheese Mixture

Spoon the blended filling over the Oreo base in each muffin cup. Aim for a thickness of about 2 cm. Smooth out the tops if needed.

5. Top with Oreo Halves

Place one half Oreo on top of each bite for a fun and crunchy topping.

6. Freeze

Place the muffin tray in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until the bites are fully set and frozen.

7. Serve and Enjoy

To serve, pop them out of the tray and microwave for 10 seconds to slightly thaw. This softens them just enough for the perfect cheesecake-meets-ice-cream texture.

How to Store Oreo Cottage Cheese Ice Cream Bites

Keep the ice cream bites in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. For best texture, thaw each one for 10–15 seconds in the microwave before eating. If you don’t have a microwave, you can let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften.

Ways to Serve Oreo Cottage Cheese Ice Cream Bites

• On a dessert board – These look adorable on a platter with berries, dark chocolate squares, and other bite-sized sweets.
• As a make-ahead treat – These store so well that you can always have a high-protein, low-effort dessert ready in the freezer.
