A Sweet Explosion You’ll Want Again and Again
Oreo Cheesecake Donut Bombs are more than just a dessert—they’re a full-on experience. Some desserts aren’t meant to be subtle, and Oreo Cheesecake Donut Bombs are unapologetically over-the-top in the best way possible. Imagine biting into a warm, soft donut ball stuffed with creamy cheesecake filling, studded with crushed Oreos, then rolled in Oreo sugar. It’s gooey, rich, crunchy, and downright explosive. One bite and you’re hooked.
I first made these on a lazy Saturday with leftover dough and half a pack of cream cheese in the fridge. I wanted something decadent without baking an entire cheesecake. What came out of that experiment? A gooey, chocolatey, cream-filled miracle that now makes regular appearances at birthdays, potlucks, and cozy Friday nights in.
In this article, I’m breaking down how to make these little bombs of joy from scratch (or semi-homemade if you’re in a hurry), how to store them, and all the little tricks I’ve learned to make them extra indulgent.
What Are Oreo Cheesecake Donut Bombs?
Think of them as bite-sized donut balls filled with a cookies-and-cream cheesecake center. They’re fried or baked (you choose), then rolled in crushed Oreos and sugar for that extra cookie crunch. They’re handheld, crowd-pleasing, and honestly—kind of dangerous in the best way.
They combine three fan-favorite desserts into one: donuts + Oreos + cheesecake. The result? A recipe that tastes like it came straight from a trendy dessert shop.
Perfect for:
- Kids’ parties
- Sleepovers
- Movie night treats
- Casual “I need something sweet” moments
- TikTok-style dessert videos (trust me, they break the internet)
Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe can be made fully from scratch or with a shortcut (like store-bought biscuit dough). Here’s what you’ll need:
the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6–8 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
the Dough:
- 1 can of biscuit dough (or homemade yeast donut dough if preferred)
Frying:
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying
The Coating:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4–5 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Optional: Melted chocolate or white chocolate drizzle for serving
Anna’s Tip: Use double-stuffed Oreos if you want the filling to be extra creamy. Also, chill the filling before stuffing to make shaping easier.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Fold in the crushed Oreos gently until well distributed. Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm it up.
Step 2: Prep the Donut Dough
If using canned biscuit dough, separate the dough into individual rounds. Flatten each round slightly in your hand. If using homemade dough, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into 3-inch circles.
Step 3: Fill and Seal
Scoop a small spoonful of the chilled cheesecake mixture into the center of each dough piece. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal, forming a ball. Roll gently between your hands to make sure it’s sealed all the way around.
Anna’s Tip: Don’t overfill—about 1 heaping teaspoon of filling per donut is perfect. Overstuffing can cause leaks during frying.
Step 4: Fry or Bake
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower 3–4 donut balls at a time into the oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.
If baking, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed dough balls on a parchment-lined tray and brush lightly with melted butter. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
Step 5: Coat in Oreo Sugar
While the donuts are still warm, mix granulated sugar and crushed Oreos in a bowl. Roll each donut bomb in the coating until fully covered.
Step 6: Add Optional Drizzle
Melt chocolate or white chocolate and drizzle it over the tops of the donuts for extra flair. Let set for a few minutes—or eat immediately while warm and gooey!
And just like that, your Oreo Cheesecake Donut Bombs are ready to wow a crowd—or just treat yourself.

How to Store
If you somehow manage to have leftovers (rare in my house!), here’s how to keep them fresh:
- Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Best if eaten the same day.
- Refrigerator: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving.
- Freezing: Not recommended. The cream cheese filling changes texture when frozen and thawed.
Anna’s Tip: If you’re hosting, you can make the filling a day ahead and store it chilled. Assemble and fry fresh the day of serving for that perfect texture.
How to Serve
- Serve warm with extra crushed Oreos sprinkled on top
- Pair with cold milk, iced coffee, or hot espresso
- Drizzle with dark chocolate for extra indulgence
- Stack on a dessert tray with mini cupcakes and brownies for a party spread
They also make amazing treats for brunch tables, birthday dessert bars, or “just because” late-night cravings. However you serve them, expect people to ask for the recipe!
Frequently Asked Questions
Pop them in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm them in a 300°F oven for a few minutes. They’re best enjoyed warm when the filling is soft and gooey.
Sure! You can try Golden Oreos, Biscoff cookies, or even chocolate chip cookies crushed into the filling. The texture may vary slightly, but the concept stays delicious.
Not necessarily! Baking is a great alternative. The outside won’t be as crisp, but brushing with butter and rolling in Oreo sugar still gives amazing results.
