How to Make Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are well coated. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form an even crust.
- Bake the Crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the crushed Oreos.
- Fill the Cups: Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled Oreo crusts, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
- Bake the Cheesecakes: Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature.
- Chill: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve: Top with whipped cream and garnish with extra Oreos before serving. Enjoy your Mini Oreo Cheesecakes!
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to prevent air bubbles in the cheesecake.
Substitutions and Variations
- Different Flavors: Substitute Oreos with other cookie varieties, like chocolate chip or peanut butter cookies, for a unique twist.
- Add Toppings: Top with chocolate sauce, caramel, or fresh fruit for added flavor.
Make a Healthier Version
- Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter filling.
