Crust
- 20 Oreo Cookies, crushed finely
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream or whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- Prepare the Crust: Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and pounding with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined evenly. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of mini cupcake liners or a mini muffin pan to form the base layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light and fluffy texture perfect for mini cheesecakes.
- Assemble and Chill: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared Oreo crusts, smoothing the tops gently. Place the mini cheesecakes in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until set. This chilling step is crucial for the cakes to firm up and develop that classic cheesecake texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish each mini Oreo cheesecake with a mini Oreo cookie, chocolate shavings, or a fresh berry for an irresistible finishing touch. Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, crunchy bite.
Notes
- Chill your bowls and beaters to achieve fluffier whipped cream for the filling.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest flavor and best texture.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly and evenly to prevent crumbling when served.
- Fold the whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and airy without deflating it.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours, ideally overnight for maximum firmness.
