Mini Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes

posted by Erica on December 24, 2011

I assume everyone already has their Christmas menus all planned out, but I wanted to share these quick, delicious, mini cheesecakes with you today since they were all dressed up for the holidays for their photos. But really, these cookies and cream cheesecakes would make a great dessert any time of the year. They took very little effort to put together and were a big hit!

With a whole Oreo at the bottom of each cheesecake, it’s hard to go wrong with these. Two pounds of cream cheese, some oreo pieces, and a few other things are mixed together to top them off before being baked. The cheesecake is creamy and tart and I loved the Oreo pieces adding some texture and great chocolate flavor. But then again I love everything with Oreos mixed in – Cookies and Cream Cookies, Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, Mint Oreo Ice Cream Cupcakes, and even homemade Oreos!

Mini Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes
Recipe adapted from Handle the Heat

42 Oreo cookies – 30 left whole, and 12 chopped coarsely
2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature and lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream

– Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line 30 standard muffin tins with paper liners (preferably white so you can see the Oreo through them!). Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each liner.
– In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and beat until combined. Add vanilla.
– Drizzle in eggs, a little at a time, beating and scraping down the sides as needed. Beat in sour cream and salt.
– Fold in the oreo pieces by hand. Divide batter evenly among cookie-lined cups, filling each almost to the top.
– Bake, rotating pan halfway through, about 22 minutes or until filling is set. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
– Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or up to overnight, and remove from tins just before serving.

Recipe yields 30 mini cheesecakes.

Have a Merry Christmas!!

I made Martha Stewart’s recipe for these, and for someone who’s not crazy about cheesecake, I thought they were delicious!

Mine are in the oven as I type!! It was very easy, but I guessed on the amount of salt to add. Can’t wait I try them.
