Mini Oreo Cheesecakes

Ingredients

For the Crust
  • 16 Oreo cookies

For the Filling
  • 2 blocks of cream cheese

  • 2 tbsp flour

  • 2 tsp vanilla

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar

  • 3 eggs, at room temperature

  • 12 Oreos, crushed

For the Whipped Topping (Optional but Recommended)
  • 1 block of cream cheese

  • 1 cup of powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 1/2 cups whipping cream

Instructions

For the Mini Cheese Cakes
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 16 paper liners and place an Oreo in the each liner.

  • Use a mixer or beater to beat the cream cheese until just smooth.

  • Add flour, beat for 5 seconds.

  • Add vanilla, sour cream, sugar, and lemon zest. Beat until just combined.

  • Add eggs one at a time, beat in between until combined.

  • Chop or crush 16 Oreo cookies and fold into the batter.

  • Spoon the batter into the liners. They should be about 2/3 full.

  • Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the middles are set.

  • Remove from the tins and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. After place in the fridge and cool for at least 2 hours.

For the Whipped Topping
  • Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 30 minutes to help this whipped cream frosting whip up better.

  • Place 1 block of cold cream cheese into the chilled mixing bowl and mix on a medium-low speed until smooth.

  • Pour in 1 cup of powdered sugar, and mix on low at first to avoid powdered sugar explosions. Increase the speed to medium-high once the powdered sugar is incorporated, and mix for about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed throughout this process.

  • Add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract, then turn the mixer to a medium-high speed and gradually pour in 2 1/2 cups of cold heavy cream. I like to do this in about 4 additions and focus on pouring the heavy cream down the side of the bowl to prevent it from splattering.

  • Watch the mixture closely once the heavy cream is fully mixed in. It should thicken and take shape shortly after this. Take care not to over-mix your whipped cream frosting!

  • Add to a piping bag with a large tip and generously top all of the mini cheese cakes.

  • Optionally, decorate with any remaining Oreo cookies.
