Crust
- 20 Oreo Cookies (crumbled)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted Butter (melted)
Filling
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (optional)
Topping
- 1 cup Whipped Cream (lightly sweetened)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie cups.
- Prepare Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbled cookies with the melted unsalted butter until well combined to form a crumbly mixture.
- Form Crusts: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Press about one tablespoon of the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner to create the crust base.
- Mix Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Gradually blend in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in mini chocolate chips gently into the cheesecake mixture if you desire a little extra chocolatey texture and flavor.
- Fill Cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared Oreo crusts in each muffin liner, filling them nearly to the top.
- Bake: Bake the cookie cups in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the centers are slightly jiggly but set at the edges.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake cookie cups to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate them for at least one hour to firm up and enhance flavors.
- Add Topping: Before serving, pipe lightly sweetened whipped cream on top of each cheesecake cup to add a creamy, airy finish.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
- For a tangier option, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Press the crust firmly into the muffin liners to avoid crumbling when baked.
- Chilling for longer than one hour will help the cheesecake cups set firmer and improve sliceability.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional but add extra texture and chocolate flavor if included.
- Use light whipped cream or whipped topping to keep the dessert from feeling too heavy.
