Ingredients

• Crust
  • 24 Oreo cookies
  • 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
• Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
  • Pinch of salt
• Topping (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips or chopped Oreos
  • Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a mini muffin tin (24-count) with paper liners.

2. Prepare the crust: Place Oreos (with filling) in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Mix in melted butter until combined.

3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture into each muffin cup. Press down firmly to form the crust.

4. Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside.

5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla, sour cream, and salt until combined.

6. Divide cheesecake filling evenly among cups, filling almost to the top.

7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, just until centers are set but slightly jiggly.

8. Remove from oven and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

9. Top with mini chocolate chips, chopped Oreos, or fresh berries if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
