Delicious mini cheesecakes made with Oreo cookies and a creamy filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Green food coloring (optional, for effect)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Extra Oreo cookies, crushed (for garnish)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix in the melted butter until combined.
- Press about a tablespoon of the Oreo mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust. Press firmly with the back of a spoon.
-
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream until the mixture is well combined.
- If using, add a few drops of green food coloring and stir until you reach the desired shade.
-
Assemble and Bake:
- Evenly distribute the cheesecake filling over each Oreo crust in the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
-
Decorate and Serve:
- Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish with crushed Oreo crumbs and add sprinkles for a festive touch.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is completely softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake batter.
- For an extra burst of Oreo flavor, place a whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each muffin liner before adding the crust.
- For storage, keep the mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to one month.
