Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 20 Oreo cookies (crushed into fine crumbs)
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Additional crushed Oreos for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush 20 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 with 5 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until fully combined.
  2. Form the Base: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Press about one tablespoon of the Oreo and butter mixture into the bottom of each liner, forming an even crust layer.
  3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and smooth. Add 1/4 cup sour cream and continue mixing until fully incorporated and smooth. If desired, gently fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for added texture and chocolate flavor.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Spoon the cheesecake filling onto each Oreo crust, filling almost to the top but leaving a little space. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake cookie cups cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate them for several hours or overnight to fully set and chill.
  6. Add Toppings: Just before serving, top each cheesecake cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with additional crushed Oreo cookies for garnish and extra crunch.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Do not overbake; the cheesecake should remain slightly jiggly in the center to ensure a creamy texture.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 3-4 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture.
  • For a richer taste, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt if desired.
  • Mini chocolate chips are optional but add lovely bursts of chocolate throughout.
  • Store leftover cheesecake cups in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
