Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 24 Oreo cookies
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Extra crushed Oreos for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Place one whole Oreo cookie into the bottom of each liner to form the base.
- Make Cheesecake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to maintain a smooth consistency.
- Mix Flavors and Texture: Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until everything is fully combined, then gently fold in the all-purpose flour just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top to create a generous cheesecake portion.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cheesecake centers are set but retain a slight jiggle, indicating perfect doneness.
- Cool: Remove the tin from the oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 2 hours to set fully, enhancing their creamy texture and flavor.
- Serve: Just before serving, top each cheesecake cup with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed Oreos for a delightful garnish if desired.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the cheesecake batter.
- Decorate with colored sprinkles or drizzle with chocolate sauce for a festive presentation.
