These beauties are Oreo cheesecakes, mini ones, perfect for parties or perhaps just for snuggling up under a blanket and snarfing them all. Don't worry, I won't tell.
These are super easy so please give them a try. I found them on a great blog called Grace's Sweet Life, check it out. When buying paper cases to pop them in, get the very cheapest white ones possible. You want them nice and thin so that the word 'Oreo' comes through from the cookie. My only disappointment was that I had to go to a big supermarket to get Oreos. If anyone knows anywhere independent that sells them, please do let me know. Now, are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin.
Ingredients:
42 Oreo cookies (about two packets)
908g of full fat cream cheese
225g sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
4 large room temp eggs, beaten a bit
230g sour cream
Pinch'o'salt
Method:
Preheat your oven to 135 degrees Celcius or there abouts then pop a cupcake case in each spare spot of a muffin tin. Put a whole Oreo in the bottom of each case. Looks good already huh?! Be aware that the recipe makes THIRTY.
Beat the cream cheese up, in a mixer if you have one, then slowly beat in the sugar and vanilla until well combines and smooth. Next beat the eggs a dollop at a time until all nicely beaten in. Next slop the cream cheese in too and keep beating. you don't want it as runny as single cream mind, so just beat until smooth, runny-ish and well combined.
Next pop the remaining 12 or so Oreos into a sandwich bag or similar and smash them up with a rolling pin. Awesome fun. Throw them in the bowl with the cream mix and stir in. Put a large dollop of the mixture into each case, filling most of the way to the top, these little things barely rise and aesthetically the cases look better full. Pop in that there oven for between 22 and 28 minutes, until the filling is set.
Get them out and let them cool completely on a rack. Now for the hard part: put them in the fridge and LEAVE THEM ALONE! They really do taste better after a night's stay in your fridge. If you can't wait, still give it at least three or four hours.
THEN EAT THEM ALL! Haha. If you find that the 'Oreo' bit isn't showing through well, get a dish full of water, wet your index finger and rub over the Oreo with a little force. This will bring it up nicely and it stays this way too, magic.
These look quite impressive I think so if you do manage to get out the house with some left on the plate then take every opportunity to bask in the glory of your superior baking.
Cheesecake? Oreo-oh why not.
