Crust
- 20 Oreo Cookies (crumbled)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted Butter (melted)
Filling
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (optional)
Topping
- 1 cup Whipped Cream (lightly sweetened)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecake cups.
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs thoroughly with melted unsalted butter until well combined.
- Form the Crust Cups: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spoon about one tablespoon of the Oreo butter mixture into each liner and press down firmly to create an even crust base for each cup.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in the sour cream, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake filling if you desire a bit of extra chocolate texture.
- Fill the Cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared Oreo crusts in the muffin liners.
- Bake: Bake the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the centers of the cheesecake cups are just slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least one hour to set fully.
- Add Topping: Before serving, pipe or dollop the lightly sweetened whipped cream on top of each cheesecake cup for a fluffy finishing touch.
Notes
- Using sour cream adds a slight tang and creaminess, but Greek yogurt can be substituted for a healthier option.
- Be sure to fully chill the cheesecake cups to allow them to set firmly.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional but add delightful texture and chocolate bursts.
- For best results, use unsalted butter to balance the sweetness.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
