6Oreo cookies, finely smashed (using a rolling pin or a food processor)
Topping:
whipped cream
12Oreos or 6 cut in half
chocolate drizzle
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F, and ensure the rack is in the middle position.
Line a 12-cup muffin tray and place 1 Oreo in each, flat in the bottom to create the crust. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 1 8-ounce brick cream cheese, room temperature until soft and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, ½ cup heavy whipping cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract and beat again on medium-high for about 2 minutes.
Add in 6 Oreo cookies, finely smashed (using a rolling pin or a food processor) and mix with a spatula.
Evenly divide batter theoOreo crust. Note: I suggest starting with 3 tablespoons for each, then using a teaspoon to divide up the remaining.
Bake for 20 minutes; the edges should be set and the center slightly jiggly and wet looking (they will also puff up.) Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and leave the cheesecakes in for an additional 15-20 minutes. This helps them cool a little slower and helps them to not crack.
Allow to complete cool on a wire rack before chilling in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Add any toppings and enjoy.
Notes
Baking the bites until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly jiggly keeps them rich and creamy.
