Mini Nutella Swirl Oreo Cheesecakes
Description
The Mini Nutella Swirl Oreo Cheesecakes start with a base of whole Oreo cookies pressed into the bottom of muffin liners, providing a sturdy and flavorful crust. The filling consists of softened cream cheese blended with egg, sugar, and vanilla extract to create a smooth batter. After filling the cups, warm Nutella is spooned into the center and gently swirled with a toothpick to create a marbled effect. Baking sets the cheesecakes with a firm, creamy texture. Once cooled and chilled, the cheesecakes are finished with crumbled Oreos on top, adding a crunch contrast to the creamy filling.
This dessert works well as a bite-sized treat for parties or anytime a sweet, rich, chocolate-hazelnut indulgence is desired. The individual portions make serving convenient and neat.
Allow the cheesecakes to chill for at least 3 to 4 hours to ensure proper set and optimal texture. The recipe uses softened cream cheese for a smooth batter and heating Nutella before swirling helps with easier blending and a better marbled appearance.
Ingredients
- 20 Oreo cookies divided
- 2 cream cheese softened, 8 oz packages
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Nutella 4 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a standard muffin tin with 12 baking cups. Place an Oreo cookie into the bottom of each cup. This will make the crust of your cheesecakes.
- Combine cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl and blend together with an electric mixer until smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide the mixture evenly between the 12 prepared cups.
- Place 1/3 cup Nutella in a small, microwaveable bowl and heat for about 30 seconds. Place a small scoop into the center of each cheesecake and swirl with a toothpick.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until cheesecakes are set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours.
- When ready to serve, crumble the remaining Oreo cookies and sprinkle over the top of the cheesecakes. Place 4 TB Nutella into the bottom corner of a small ziploc bag. Heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until warmed and easily spreadable. Cut a VERY small tip from the corner of the bag, and drizzle Nutella over the top of each cheesecake. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese to achieve a smooth filling texture.
- Chill cheesecakes for at least 3-4 hours to allow them to set properly before serving.
- Warm the Nutella slightly before swirling to create smooth marbling.
- Crumbled Oreo topping adds texture and visual appeal.
