"I found this on a blog called "Grace's Sweet Life" and fell in love with the idea of using an Oreo cookie as the "crust" for these tasty individual mini cheesecakes. They're great for birthday parties, baby shower or any time! You can also use mint Oreos and a little bit of mint flavoring and green food coloring to make a Minty Oreo Cheesecake Cup for a refreshing change."

ingredients

24 whole Oreo cookies
12 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed
3.667 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
1 pinch salt

directions

Preheat oven to 275°F
Line standard muffin tins with paper liners.
Place 1 whole Oreo cookie in the bottom of each lined muffin cup.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed. (I've used a hand mixer and it worked fine).
Gradually add the sugar, and beat until combined.
Beat in the vanilla.
Drizzle in eggs, a little at a time, beating to combine and scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
Add in sour cream and salt, beat to combine.
Using a large spatula, fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
Divide batter evenly among the cookie-filled muffin cups, fill each cup almost to the top.
Bake, rotating muffin tins halfway through, until the filling is set, about 22 to 28 minutes.
Transfer the muffins tins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Refrigerate (in the muffin tins) at least 4 hours (or overnight).
Remove from tins just before serving.
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and some more crushed Oreo cookie if desired.

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
