Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes
Description
This recipe lines standard muffin tins with liners and places a whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each, creating a cookie crust base. The cheesecake batter comprises softened cream cheese beaten until smooth, gradually combined with granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lightly beaten eggs, sour cream, and a pinch of salt. Chopped Oreos are folded in by hand, distributing the cookie pieces throughout the creamy filling.
The batter is divided evenly among the cookie-lined cups and baked until just set, retaining a creamy yet firm texture. Rotating the pan halfway through baking ensures even cooking. After cooling on wire racks, the cheesecakes chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight, allowing them to firm up completely and develop a fresh flavor.
The prepared cheesecakes can be garnished with whipped cream and additional crumbled Oreos before serving. These bite-sized treats offer a rich, sweet balance of chocolate cookie crunch and smooth cheesecake, making them an easy dessert option suited for individual servings at parties or casual events.
Ingredients
- 42 Oreo cookies 30 left whole and 12 coarsely chopped
- 2 pounds cream cheese 32 ounces, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 egg large, lightly beaten
- 1 cup sour cream
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line standard muffin pans with liners (30 liners). Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each liner.
- Beat cream cheese at medium speed using an electric mixer. Gradually add the sugar, beating until combined. Beat in vanilla.
- Drizzle in eggs, a bit at a time. Beat in sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies by hand.
- Divide batter evenly among cookie-lined cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, about 18-22 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or up to overnight). Remove from tins just before serving. Best served really cold! You can garnish with fresh whipped cream and crumbled Oreos if desired.
