Ingredients:
15 whole Oreo cookies
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup crushed Oreos (for the batter)
Additional crushed Oreos (for topping)
Directions:
Prepare Muffin Tin:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
Place one whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each liner.
Make Cheesecake Batter:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold in 1/2 cup of crushed Oreos.
Assemble and Bake:
Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over each Oreo cookie in the muffin tin.
Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top of each cheesecake.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the centers are set.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cheesecakes to cool completely in the muffin tin.
Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Optionally, top with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos for extra indulgence.
Serving Tips:
Chill Before Serving: For the best texture and flavor, refrigerate the Mini Oreo Cheesecakes for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps them set properly and enhances the creamy consistency.
Garnish for Extra Appeal: Top the cheesecakes with a dollop of whipped cream and additional crushed Oreos right before serving. This adds a delightful visual touch and extra flavor.
Serve Cold: These cheesecakes are best enjoyed cold. Keep them chilled until you’re ready to serve to maintain their freshness and texture.
Portion Control: For easy serving at parties or gatherings, use a small spoon or dessert fork to serve each cheesecake. This ensures guests can enjoy their treat without fuss.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store leftover Mini Oreo Cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days. Make sure they are fully cooled before storing to prevent condensation.
Freezing: If you want to keep them for a longer period, you can freeze the cheesecakes. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and store for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Avoid Freezer Burn: To prevent freezer burn, ensure the cheesecakes are well-wrapped or stored in an airtight container. Adding a layer of plastic wrap before sealing can provide extra protection.
Reheat with Caution: If you prefer them slightly warmed, you can let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. However, they are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature straight from the fridge.
