Crust
- 20 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Topping
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Additional crushed Oreos for garnish
- Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the 20 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the Oreo crumbs with melted unsalted butter until well combined.
- Form Crust Bases: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Press about one tablespoon of the Oreo and butter mixture into the bottom of each liner, firmly packing it to create the base of your cookie cups.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the sour cream and continue to mix until smooth. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips gently to incorporate them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill and Bake: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the Oreo crust in each cupcake liner, filling nearly to the top but leaving a small gap to avoid overflow. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. The centers should be set but still slightly jiggly when you gently shake the pan.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the cupcake tin from the oven and allow the cheesecake cookie cups to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and firm.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with additional crushed Oreos for an extra chocolatey garnish.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Do not overbake; the centers should remain slightly jiggly to maintain a creamy texture.
- Refrigerate properly to allow the cheesecake filling to set well.
- Mini chocolate chips are optional but add a delightful texture and flavor contrast.
- Store leftover cookie cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
