Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 oreo cookies
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Topping Ingredients:
- 6 oreo cookies (crushed)
- 1/4 cup whipped cream
- 2 tbsp chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Place one whole oreo cookie at the bottom of each muffin liner, creating a crunchy base.
- Beat cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually incorporate granulated sugar into the cream cheese, mixing until fully integrated.
- Add eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition to maintain a silky texture.
- Mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, salt, and flour, stirring until the batter becomes uniform and glossy.
- Carefully spoon the cheesecake mixture over the oreo cookie base, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are almost set but still slightly jiggly.
- Remove from oven and allow cheesecakes to cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up and develop deeper flavors.
- Before serving, garnish with crushed oreo cookies, a dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
- Chill again for 10-15 minutes to set the toppings before presenting.
Notes
- Swap regular oreos with gluten-free versions to create a celiac-friendly dessert that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie cheesecake without sacrificing deliciousness.
- Prevent cracking by placing a water bath around the muffin tin during baking, which helps distribute heat evenly and maintain moisture.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter that blends effortlessly.
