Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Oreo Cookies:
- 12 Oreo cookies (whole, for the base)
- 6 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 3 Oreo cookies, crushed (for garnish)
Flavor Enhancer:
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping:
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Arrange cupcake liners in a muffin tin, positioning a whole Oreo cookie as the foundational layer for each individual cheesecake base.
- Create a velvety cream cheese mixture by blending cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Separately whip heavy cream until it develops sturdy, defined peaks that hold their shape elegantly.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese blend, using gentle folding motions to maintain the mixture’s airy texture.
- Crush additional Oreo cookies and fold them into the cheesecake filling, distributing the cookie fragments evenly throughout the creamy mixture.
- Carefully distribute the Oreo-infused cheesecake filling over each cookie base, using a spatula to smooth the surface and ensure an even layer.
- Sprinkle additional crushed Oreos across the top of each mini cheesecake for a decorative and flavorful garnish.
- Refrigerate the assembled desserts for a minimum of two hours, allowing them to set completely and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
- When ready to serve, gently remove the cheesecakes from their liners, optionally crown with a dollop of whipped cream, and present these chilled, indulgent treats.
Notes
- Crush Oreos finely to create a uniform, compact base that holds together perfectly without crumbling when you bite into the mini cheesecake.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly with whipped cream.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Experiment with different Oreo flavors like mint, peanut butter, or birthday cake to add exciting twists to the classic recipe and surprise your taste buds.
