How to make mini Oreo cheesecakes
- Line a 12 hole cupcake/muffin pan with paper cases, then place a whole Oreo into each hole then set aside.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Mix in the egg, sugar and vanilla essence.
- Fold Oreo crumbs through cheesecake batter.
- Divide cheesecake batter evenly between the 12 holes.
- Press mixture slightly down into the cups and smooth the tops, then bake.
Top tips
- I like to chop the Oreos for the filling by hand rather than in a food processor. It only takes a few seconds, plus I like the contrast of having some slightly larger Oreo chunks in the finished cheesecake bites.
- When dividing the cheesecake mixture amongst the twelve holes, I aim for 2 tablespoons of filling for each hole. I also found that my old fashioned ice cream scoop is just the right size!
- Once the cheesecakes start to cool they will sink slightly in the middle. This is normal.
Serving suggestions
- Pipe some sweetened whipped cream onto these miniature cheesecake bites for some extra flair.
- Drizzle over some strawberry fruit coulis or blueberry sauce.
Variations
- Original or double-stuffed Oreos could be used.
- Other Oreo varieties like Red Velvet, Cinnamon Bun or Golden Oreos would all be great too!
