Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups Oreo crumbs (about 16 whole Oreos)
• 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter (½ stick)

For the Cheesecake:

• 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, added one at a time
• ¼ cup Oreo crumbs, plus 4-5 whole Oreos, broken into larger pieces

Directions

Preparing the Crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F (177º C).
2. Line a regular-sized muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
3. Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
4. Distribute about 1-2 tablespoons of the Oreo mixture into each muffin cup.
5. Press the crumbs down firmly using the back of a 1/3 cup measure or similar utensil.
6. Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Making the Cheesecake:

1. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until smooth.
3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Fold in the ¼ cup of Oreo crumbs and the broken Oreo pieces gently with a spatula.
5. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the crusts in the muffin pan, filling each one just over halfway.
6. Optional: Top the cheesecakes with additional Oreo crumbs or pieces for extra Oreo goodness.
7. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the centers are just slightly jiggly.
8. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. For best results, if chilling overnight, cover the cheesecakes loosely with plastic wrap.
