No-Bake Banana Split Oreo Cheesecake Bites

Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until well blended.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased mini muffin tin, creating small cups. Make sure the crust is evenly distributed.
3. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake Bites

1. Remove the crusts from the refrigerator and fill each one with the cheesecake filling, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
2. Top each bite with a slice of banana, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a sprinkle of crushed nuts.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Place the filled muffin tin back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are set.
2. Just before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on top of each bite, if desired.
