Cookies and Cream Mini Cheesecakes
One of my favorite desserts ever since I was a little girl is Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, whether it be a vanilla or chocolate version. It’s just perfect. I love anything with a generous helping of cream in it, I’m sure I get it from my Mom. It’s likely that butter and cream are on her list of top 5 favorite foods =). These Mini Oreo Cheesecakes taste just like that beloved Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, but rather in cheesecake form.
Creamy Oreo Cheesecake Filling
Whole Oreos make a natural and easy Oreo cookie crust for your cheesecake batter (sometimes you can find a pre-made Oreo crust at the store to make a full-size cheesecake!). To get the Oreo crumbs for the creamy cheesecake filling, I add my whole Oreo cookie into a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to break them up into Oreo cookie crumbs. You can go for large or small Oreo cookie crumbs according to the texture you like. For really fine crumbs just use a food processor. I adapted this mini Oreo cheesecake recipe from my favorite white chocolate cheesecake recipes because white chocolate mimics the flavors of cream to me. I prefer to use my electric mixer with the whisk attachment, and I’m careful to scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently. Once baked, chill your mini cheesecakes in the fridge covered in plastic wrap until you’re ready to enjoy them. These mini Oreo cheesecake cupcakes are dangerous, but when they come in their cute petite form (compared to a large slice of cheesecake), it’s a little bit easier to use portion control. Although, once you’ve tasted one you’ll still likely want at least one or even two more. Cream and chocolate wafer cookies = one of the best pairings ever created. Thank you to whoever came up with such a simple, yet deliciously incredible combination. Enjoy these creamy, chocolaty cupcakes of pure luxury, and do your best to share!
