Mini Cheesecakes
Description
This recipe begins by lining muffin tins with paper liners and placing a golden Oreo cookie as a crust at the bottom of each cup. Cream cheese is mixed with granulated sugar until smooth before eggs are added one at a time to maintain thickness and combine evenly. Vanilla and vanilla bean paste provide layered flavor complexity.
The batter is spooned over each cookie, filling the muffin cups, then baked at 325°F until fully set—about 15 minutes. Cooling to room temperature is followed by chilling in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or overnight to develop texture. Removing the liners reveals the mini cheesecakes, which can be garnished with various toppings.
The combination of the sweet cream cheese filling with the crisp cookie base creates a rich but small portion dessert suitable for parties or casual treats. The use of golden Oreos gives a distinctive sweet crust that contrasts with creamy cheesecake.
