Recipe Notes
Use a non-stick muffin tin or line the tin with parchment paper liners to prevent sticking. You can also spray the paper liner with non-stick cooking spray so the liner pulls away easily after the cheesecakes have baked.
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
When adding the filling, fill the muffin cups only about ¾ of the way full. This will give them enough space to rise without overflowing.
Let the cheesecakes cool completely before removing them from the muffin tin. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.

📋Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.
Substitutions and Variations
You can use any chocolate sandwich cookie.
Neufchatel cheese can be used in place of cream cheese, though it won't be quite as rich, since it has a lower fat content.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Finely chop approximately 12 Oreo cookies for the filling, reserving a few tablespoons for topping.
Make the Cheesecake Mixture
Step 2: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3: Gently mix in the chopped Oreos for the filling.
Add the Cheesecake Mixture
Step 4: Line 2 muffin tins with 15 paper liners and place an Oreo cookie into each liner. Then, add about 2 tablespoons of cheesecake mixture on top of each Oreo.
Step 5: Top each cupcake with the reserved chopped Oreos.
Baking Instructions
Step 6: Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the mini cheesecakes for 14-16 minutes, ensuring they are set in the middle.
Step 7: After baking, let them cool for about 30 minutes.
Step 8: Once cooled, remove the liners from the cheesecakes and refrigerate until you are ready to serve. This ensures they stay fresh and delicious until serving time.

Storage Tips
Place the cheesecakes in an airtight container, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezing Tips
Once the mini cheesecakes have completely cooled, wrap them in plastic wrap and store in a zip top bag or airtight container for up to 2 months.
Top Tip
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so it combines nicely and you get a smooth consistency.
Save at least 12 additional Oreo cookies to crumble.
Spray the paper muffin liner with non-stick baking spray before adding the Oreo cookie and cheesecake mixture. That way the baked cheesecake will not stick to the liners when removed.

How do I prevent my mini cheesecakes from cracking?
Resist the urge to open the oven door part way through baking. The change in temperature can cause cracks.
Don't over-bake. Take them out just when the center is set. A slight jiggle is ok.
Should I use a water bath when baking mini cheesecakes?
Mini cheesecakes don't require a water bath. Since they are thinner and smaller, they're able to bake more evenly.
How long do I need to let my mini cheesecakes cool before serving?
Let them cool for at least 30 minutes to complete the cooking process and set.
