Ingredients
Filling
8ouncescream cheese,softened
⅓cupsgranulated sugar
¼cupsour cream
½teaspoonvanilla extract
1eggs
5standard Oreo cookies,finely chopped
Crust
12Oreo cookies
2tablespoonsbutter,melted
Topping
½cupheavy whipping cream
2tablespoonspowdered sugar
24-30mini Oreos and Oreo crumbs,for decorating if desired
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Line mini muffin tins with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract and beat until fully combined.
Add the egg and stir by hand until combined.
Fold in the chopped Oreos.
In the bowl of a food processor, blitz the Oreo cookies until broken down into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and run the food processor until combined.
Press 1 teaspoon of the cookie crumbles into the bottom of each cupcake liner and gently press down to create an even layer crust. (I used a shot glass).
Add 1 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture over each cookie crumb base.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until the center of the cheesecake is just set and looks dry across the top (the center should be no more than 160 degrees).
Allow the mini cheesecakes to cool in the muffin pan to room temperature (about 30 minutes), then place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
To make the whipped cream topping, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
After the cheesecake is fully chilled, remove the mini cheesecakes from the mini cupcake pan and place on a serving platter.
Pipe whipped cream onto the tops of each mini cheesecake and top with a mini Oreo cookie.

Notes
Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature so you don’t end up with lumps in the cream cheese mixture.
For the smoothest cheesecake and the least likelihood of it cracking, place a pan of water on the rack underneath the pan while they’re baking.
Overbeating the cheesecake batter will add too much air to the batter, leading to it puffing during baking and then cracking while cooling. I always switch to a spatula and mix the rest by hand once I add the first egg.
I found a small 3.5-ounce container of mini Oreos that worked perfectly to decorate the top. However, you can leave the cheesecake bites plain on top or just add a squirt of whipped cream topping for easy serving.
