Whether you’re serving them at a party or enjoying them as a special treat, these mini cheesecakes are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
- 12 Oreo cookies (whole, for the crust)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 5-6 Oreo cookies, crushed (for the filling)
- Optional: whipped cream and mini Oreos for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare the crust: Place one whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each muffin cup. This will be the crust for each mini cheesecake.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and egg, and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the sour cream and the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over the Oreo crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top.
- Bake the cheesecakes: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are slightly puffed. Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool in the tin.
- Chill and serve: Once cooled, transfer the cheesecakes to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and mini Oreos if desired.
These Mini Oreo Cheesecakes are as adorable as they are delicious. With their creamy texture and cookie-filled goodness, they’re the perfect sweet treat for any occasion. Enjoy!
