My grandkids are constantly asking me about my blog and are always interested in helping in the kitchen! They especially love making Mini Upside Down Oreo Cheesecakes.
My grandson, Logan, loves to help his mom out in the kitchen on a regular basis. And when he’s at my house, he’s always asking if he can help out with the cooking, etc. (I do hope this lasts!)
So you can imagine his surprise and delight when I asked him to make something to share on my blog. When I asked him what he wanted to make, he didn’t hesitate for a second. He blurted out, “Cookies and cream cheesecake!”
We found the perfect recipe for him to make all by himself. It’s Upside-Down Mini Cheesecakes.
I did supervise while Logan measured, poured, and mixed. He whipped up the mini upside down Oreo cheesecakes all by himself. The only part I had to play in the baking of the cheesecakes was placing them in the oven and pulling them out.
I feel he’s a tad too young to come in contact with the oven yet, but his poppy has taught him how to make coffee with the Keurig, but that’s another story!
The recipe is a simple cheesecake recipe and calls for cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and Oreos. It bakes for 20 minutes and after cooled, is placed in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
Here’s how Logan did it! Oh yeah, he just had to wear one of his hats! The first step, of course, was giving those hands a good washing before beginning.
Mini Upside Down Oreo Cheesecakes
Logan loves cooking!
Heat oven to 350º F. and place cupcake liners in a 12-cup muffin tin. Add an Oreo cookie to each liner. Coarsely chop the remaining cookies and set aside for later.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until well combined. Add sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time and beat until just blended.
Stir in the chopped cookies and spoon into the muffin cups. Bake 20 minutes or until centers are almost set. Cool and refrigerate in the tins for 3-4 hours.
Remove cheesecakes from the muffin tins.
The mini upside-down Oreo cheesecakes are a big hit! And Logan is an excellent baker!

Logan that looks so good!!! Proud of you!! Aunt Melinda loves you. 🙂
I’m proud of him, too! He did it all by himself! And they turned out perfectly. 🙂
He did a great job. They were delicious! I’m very proud of my little Lo Lo. 🙂
He’s already wanting to make something else by himself!
Great job! My middle son loves to bake as well. I’ve got a bowl full of shredded zucchinni in the fridge just waiting to be made into bread, so I’ll press him into service today!
That sounds good! I love zucchini bread!
Holy cow these look yummy!!!
They are so good and so easy – even an 8 year old can do it! 🙂
He did an awesome job! That’s so great that he loves to help out in the kitchen and that you and his mom allow him to. S loves to help in the kitchen and has been asking to help make dinner this week.
I was surprised at how well he did! He now wants his own blog, bake a cake, . . what have I done??? 🙂
These look so good! Logan is too cute. Great name, too! 😉
Every time I visit your blog, I think about what a great name you have! 🙂
These are so cute…I have a serious weakness for oreos so I will be pinning for later 🙂
Oreos are THE best! 🙂
Great job! They look delicious and I love seeing kids in the kitchen.
Me, too. Don’t tell, but I have much more patience with the grands in the kitchen than I did with my kids in the kitchen. 🙂
Great job Logan! You picked the prefect dessert!
Yes, he did! Everyone loved them. Next time he may have to double that recipe.
Isn’t he just precious, working with his Grandma in the kitchen! I love that hat!! I can only imagine how he was watching the clock for 3 whole hours before his creation was ready to eat! Pinning!
That was the longest 3 hours in history! He’s ready to make something else!
My daughter will love this must try!!!
It’s the perfect recipe for kids!
Way to go, Logan! They look great, and that’s awesome that he offers to help you guys out!
Okay, I see a future chef there! And I love how he cooks in a hat LOL He’s got style! Now, enough of this posting delicious cheesecakes while I’m on a diet…YUM!!!

I couldn’t cook at all at that age. 🙂
I love recipes that are easy for kids to follow. Can’t wait to try this one with my boys. Looks delicious!
My kids would LOVE these! Pinned it for later!
Thanks!
They didn’t last long at my house. 🙂 Next time Logan needs to double the recipe. 🙂
The filling is enough for 24 not 12. But they are delicious
You could definitely use a mini cupcake tin and the recipe will make 24. I use a regular muffin tin for this recipe and it makes 12.
