Ingredients

• Crust
  • 24 Oreo cookies
  • 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
• Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
  • Pinch of salt
• Topping (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips or chopped Oreos
  • Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a mini muffin tin (24-count) with paper liners.

2. Prepare the crust: Place Oreos (with filling) in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Mix in melted butter until combined.

3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture into each muffin cup. Press down firmly to form the crust.

4. Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside.

5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla, sour cream, and salt until combined.

6. Divide cheesecake filling evenly among cups, filling almost to the top.

7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, just until centers are set but slightly jiggly.

8. Remove from oven and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

9. Top with mini chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, or fresh berries if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth batter free of lumps. While preparing the crust, firmly pressing the Oreo mixture helps create a sturdy base that holds the filling well during baking. Letting the cheesecakes cool at room temperature before chilling prevents cracking and ensures a creamy texture.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For those needing gluten-free options, substitute the Oreo cookies with certified gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies. You can switch up the toppings according to season or preference: fresh berries add a bright freshness, while mini chocolate chips amp up the richness. Experiment with flavor extracts like almond or lemon to create unique twists.

Serviervorschläge
