Oreo Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies (approximately 1.5 per cup, crushed or whole for pressing)
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Oreo Cups: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Press whole Oreo cookies into the bottom and up the sides of each cup in a standard 12-cup muffin tin, creating a firm crust for each cheesecake cup.
- Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract and continue mixing until the ingredients are fully combined into a silky, creamy mixture.
- Fill the Oreo Cups: Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly into each Oreo crust-lined muffin cup, filling almost to the top but leaving a small space for expansion during baking.
- Bake the Cookie Cups: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18 to 22 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the Oreo cheesecake cookie cups to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow them to firm up for the best texture.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Do not overbake; a slightly jiggly center will firm up as it cools.
- Use a non-stick muffin tin or grease it lightly if needed for easier removal.
- Optional: Top with crushed Oreos or whipped cream before serving for extra flavor and presentation.
