Ingredients
Scale
- 26 standard Oreo cookies (18 for crust, 8 for filling)
- 4 tbsps butter (melted)
- 16 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 3 tbsps heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 16 miniature Oreo cookies (optional, for garnish)
- whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two muffin tins with 16 paper liners.
- Pulverize 18 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by crushing in a sealed plastic bag.
- Mix the Oreo crumbs with melted butter until uniformly moistened.
- Distribute approximately 1 ½ tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each muffin liner, pressing firmly to create a compact base.
- Bake the crust for 6 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese until smooth and silky, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently incorporate granulated sugar, sour cream, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract on low speed until well blended.
- Fold in eggs with minimal mixing to prevent overworking the filling.
- Crumble the remaining 8 Oreo cookies and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
- Carefully portion the filling into each muffin liner, using a three-tablespoon scoop.
- Bake for 16-17 minutes until edges are set and centers slightly jiggly.
- Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Optional: Garnish with whipped cream, Oreo crumbs, and a mini Oreo cookie before serving.
Notes
- Crush Oreos precisely for a consistent, fine texture that helps create a smooth, compact crust without large cookie chunks.
- Avoid overmixing the cheesecake batter to prevent air bubbles and potential cracking, which can impact the smooth, creamy texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially cream cheese and eggs, to ensure a uniform, lump-free mixture and better blending.
- Refrigerate cheesecakes completely before serving to allow proper setting and enhance the rich, creamy flavor profile.
