How to Make Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp salted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup chopped Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Oreo cookie crumbs
- 24 mini Oreo cookies
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Cookie Crust. In a bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into mini cheesecake pans to form the crust. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling. Use an electric hand mixer to cream the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly add the heavy cream, whipping until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy. Gently fold in chopped Oreo cookies. Pipe the cheesecake mixture onto the Oreo crusts using a piping bag, filling slightly above the pan. Chill the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or overnight.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache. Microwave semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4: Whip the Cream. In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until medium-stiff peaks form. Fill a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M tip.
Step 5: Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes. After chilling, remove cheesecakes from the pan. Spoon or pipe cooled ganache on top of each cheesecake. Pipe a swirl of whipped cream over the ganache. Sprinkle with Oreo crumbs and top with a mini Oreo cookie.
