Ingredients:
- 12 whole Oreo cookies (standard stuffed)
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 0.5 cup granulated white sugar
- 0.5 cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 6 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
- 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 6 mini Oreos or cookie halves for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a standard 12-count muffin tin with paper liners and place one whole Oreo cookie at the bottom of each liner.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using an electric hand mixer until smooth and aerated, approximately 2 minutes.
- Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined to prevent excess air bubbles.
- Gently fold the 6 chopped Oreo cookies into the cheesecake batter using a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin liners, filling each nearly to the top. Bake for 18–22 minutes until edges are set but centers have a slight jiggle.
- Cool completely in the pan at room temperature. For the garnish, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks, pipe onto chilled cheesecakes, and top with mini Oreos.
