Base
- 1 1/2 packets (250g) Oreos
- ~1/4 cup (100g) Butter
Filling
- ~2 cups (450g) Cream cheese
- ~7 fl oz (200ml) Double cream (whipped)
- ~1/3 cup (50g) Grated chocolate (plus extra for topping)
- ~1 cup (100g) Powdered sugar (icing sugar)
- ~2.7 fl oz (80ml) Irish cream liqueur
- Prepare the base: Roughly break the Oreo biscuits into a food processor and blitz on high speed until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the biscuit crumbs and mix thoroughly to combine the mixture well.
- Form the crust: Divide the biscuit mixture evenly between 9 muffin cases and press down firmly using the back of a teaspoon to form a solid base. Place the muffin cases in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour to set.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, Irish cream liqueur, powdered sugar, and grated chocolate. Lightly whip these ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in the whipped double cream until fully combined, ensuring a light and fluffy consistency.
- Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the filling mixture evenly into the chilled biscuit bases within the muffin cases. Smooth the tops as needed. Refrigerate the assembled mini cheesecakes for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow the filling to set properly.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecakes from the muffin cases. Sprinkle extra grated chocolate over the tops as a decorative and flavorful garnish before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and double cream to achieve the best creamy and rich texture.
- Make sure to chill the bases thoroughly to prevent the filling from sliding off.
- If desired, substitute Oreos with any other chocolate sandwich biscuits for variety.
- For a firmer cheesecake, refrigerate overnight.
- Handle the mini cheesecakes gently when removing from muffin cases to keep their shape intact.
