Ingredients

2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup chopped Oreo cookies
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
3/4 cup heavy cream (for whipped cream)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
2 tablespoons Oreo cookie crumbs (for garnish)
24 mini Oreo cookies (for garnish)

Directions

Prepare the Oreo Cookie Crust: In a mixing bowl, stir together the Oreo cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted salted butter until well combined. Using a small cookie scoop, portion the crumbs into mini cheesecake pans and press them down to form the crust.
Make the Oreo Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and whip until thick and fluffy. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
Fill the Cheesecake Pans: Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake mixture and pipe it onto the crusts, filling slightly above the top. Chill for 12 hours or overnight, then carefully remove from the pan.
Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth.
Make the Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until medium-stiff peaks form. Fill a piping bag with the whipped cream.
Assemble the Cheesecakes: Pipe the ganache on top of each cheesecake, followed by a swirl of whipped cream. Sprinkle with additional crumbs and top each with a mini Oreo. Enjoy!
