¼cupsugar
¼teaspoonvanilla extract
1large eggat room temperature
¼cupsour creamat room temperature
A pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 275 F.
Insert the cupcake liners into the muffin tins.
Chop 3 Oreo cookies into small pieces. Set aside.
Use the electric mixer to beat 1 8-ounce package cream cheese until it is smooth.
Add 1/4 cup sugar and mix until it is well-combined.
Beat in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.
In a separate small bowl, beat 1 large egg with a fork.
Add the egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat until completely mixed.
Mix in 1/4 cup sour cream and a pinch of salt.
Stir the chopped cookies into the cream cheese mixture by hand.
Place 1 whole Oreo cookie on the bottom of each cupcake liner (for the crust).
Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the top of the Oreo cookie in each of the cupcake tins, filling them almost to the top.
Bake for 22 minutes, rotating the tin halfway through to ensure all cupcakes are evenly cooked.
Cool on a wire rack until the cupcakes are no longer warm to the touch.
Cover them with foil or saran wrap and move to the refrigerator.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours.
Remove from the tins and enjoy!
Notes
To make gluten-free cupcakes, substitute gluten-free Oreo cookies for the regular ones.
Cheesecake does not rise like regular cupcake or muffin dough so you do not have to worry about it spilling over the top while it is cooking.
Make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled before moving them to the refrigerator. Otherwise, condensation will form on the tops of them which can make the cheesecake soggy.
Although they taste delicious, these cupcakes are a little plain looking so you may want to decorate the top. Whipped cream with half an Oreo cookie on top is a good addition.
Because cream cheese is dairy, these mini cheesecakes should be refrigerated until ready to serve.
