Until then, enjoy these mini Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes. There were perfectly creamy with chunks of Oreos throughout. They only have a few ingredients which I like especially when my boys are helping me in the kitchen. Cheesecakes can be intimidating and involved with water baths and springform pans but these were so easy. I knew it was a sign that I had to make these because I bookmarked them and on the same day my friend Kaela posted them. I cut the recipe in half and took them to my friends house for dessert. I dare you to eat just one!
Source: original recipe by Martha Stewart; via Cookin' and Kickin'
42 Oreos, 30 left whole and 12 coarsely chopped
2 pounds (32 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 275°. Line standard muffin pans with liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each liner.
Beat cream cheese at medium speed using an electric mixer. Gradually add the sugar, beating until combined. Beat in vanilla.
Drizzle in eggs, a bit at a time. Beat in sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies by hand.
Divide batter evenly among cookie-lined cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, about 22 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or up to overnight). Remove from tins just before serving. Best served really cold! You can garnish with fresh whipped cream and crumbled Oreos if desired.
Makes 30 cheesecakes.

These are so pretty! I made something similar recently, so easy and good! Great recipe! Hope fall comes to you soon!
I am in love. These are perfectly adorable, and definitely easy for me to whip up when I have a cheesecake craving...not that that's a frequent occurrence...
And that's a wonderful photo!
UGH! If you keep posting stuff like these, when am I ever going to be able to start my diet?!?!
These look so yummy. What a fun idea. We love Oreo's at our house, so I'm going to have to give these a try. Yum!
awww, what to say ! they look heavenly and I am sure taste so!

LOVE this! I'm pinning and stumbling, and hopefully MAKING ASAP!
I wish I could eat these! So amazingly yummy looking. Mmmm. I utterly dislike being lactose intolerant!
I made these too after seeing them on Pinterest - I was a bit let down. I felt they had too much sour cream in them, tasted more like sour cream than cheese cake. They are easy though!
DEFINITELY Making these this week!
this looks so good!
Holy Cow...these look so good! May have to make these for my birthday! :)
These look amazing and I bet the cheesecake blends wonderfully right into that Oreo. What a great idea!
@Ang,
Sorry you were let down. I actually loved these and didn't even notice the sour cream in them.
These look really good...thanks for the recipe, can't wait to try them!!

I need these in my life. For real.
Oh - My - Goodness.. looks amazing!!!!!!!
I can't wait to make these...thanks for making deliciousness like this totally attainable!
I've made these before and the whole oreo at the bottom could not be more of a crowd pleaser :)
I made these last Saturday for a big family party! Awesome recipe! LOVE IT!
I made these for thanksgiving and they turned out DELICIOUS!! So so good. And now I am 5 pounds heavier :)
I made these this year and they were a huge success ;-)
I made these today but I found the base burnt a bit any tips how to stop that it kind of ruined the taste
I always come to you for dessert recipes and this didn't disappoint! I made it tonight for my Husband's birthday and they are so good!
@Unknown,
The base should not be burnt. Make sure your oven rack is in the middle and even reduce the baking time if needed but I have never had this problem with these. Good luck!
does anyone know how long these will keep? I am planning on making them for a party and wanted to see if i could prepare them a little ahead of time. thanks!
This might make these for Easter? Would they look good if I added red food coloring to make them pink??
@Ashley,
I've actually made these pink for breast cancer awareness month and they were cute!
Those were DIVINE!!! I have been craving cheesecake for a LONG time now and those hit the spot, plus super easy to make! Win win!
After putting in the batter, the oreo at the bottom floats. Any advice on how to avoid this?
@Olfat Sakr,
Really? I haven't had anyone else have that happen to them...shoot! My batter is pretty thick so the Oreo stays down. Is your batter thick?
