Ingredients
36Oreo Thin cookies (regular Oreos also work well)
38 oz.blocks cream cheese, room temperature
1cupsugar
¾tspvanilla
3eggs, room temperature
whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375° and place 24 cupcake liners in a cupcake pan (you may need two cupcake pans if you do not have a large cupcake pan, or you may also need to bake in batches if you only have one smaller cupcake pan).
Place one Oreo Thin in each cupcake liner - this will become the base for each mini cheesecake. This will use 24 of your Oreo Thins. Set the pan(s) aside.
Place the remaining 12 Oreo Thins in a bag or bowl and break them into coarse pieces. Set these aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fully combined.
Add the vanilla and eggs, and mix together until well blended.
Fold the crushed Oreo Thins from earlier into the cream cheese mixture. Try not to over-mix, but make sure the Oreo pieces are well distributed.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared/lined cupcake pan(s), filling each liner about ¾ full. If you are baking in batches, set the remaining batter aside for another batch. If you are able to use two pans, or one large pan, fully distribute the batter.
Bake the mini cheesecakes for about 12 minutes, checking at about 10 minutes. You are looking for the cheesecakes to just barely have a light golden brown color around the edges. If this is not the case at 12 minutes, bake for another minute or two.
Allow the cheesecakes to cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the cupcake pan, and then remove the cheesecakes to finish cooling on a cooling rack.
Serve once cooled. They are also amazing chilled in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Remove from the cupcake liners and serve with whipped cream and/or other desired toppings.
