- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional for extra indulgence)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners for easy removal.
- Crush the Oreos: Take 12 Oreo cookies and crush them into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor for this or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
- Form the Cups: Mix the Oreo crumbs with 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Press about a tablespoon of the mixture firmly into each muffin tin cup to form cookie cups. Bake for 5-7 minutes until set and slightly crispy.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Then add the egg and mix until just combined.
- Fill the Cups: Remove the cookie cups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, fill each Oreo cup with about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture.
- Bake Again: Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the filling is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie cups to cool completely before removing them from the tin. Top with whipped cream or chocolate drizzle if desired, and enjoy!
