Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 20 Oreo Cookies (crumbled)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted Butter (melted)
Filling
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (optional)
Topping
- 1 cup Whipped Cream (lightly sweetened)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie cups.
- Prepare Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with the melted unsalted butter to create the crust mixture.
- Form Crusts: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Press about one tablespoon of the Oreo crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner to form the base.
- Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then blend in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until fully combined.
- Optional Add-ins: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling if you desire a chocolate chip texture inside your cups.
- Fill Cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over each Oreo crust in the muffin liners, filling them almost to the top.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the centers of the cheesecake cups are slightly jiggly, indicating they are perfectly baked.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the cups to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating them for at least one hour to set and chill thoroughly.
- Add Topping: Just before serving, pipe or dollop the lightly sweetened whipped cream on top of each cheesecake cookie cup for a delicious finishing touch.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional; feel free to omit or replace with chopped nuts.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure a smooth filling.
- Do not overbake; the centers should remain slightly jiggly for a creamy texture.
- Refrigerate cheesecakes before serving for best taste and texture.
- Use cupcake liners to make removal easier and keep the crust intact.
