HOW TO MAKE MINI OREO CHEESECAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners.  Place the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the brown sugar and salt and continue to pulse. Drizzle in the melted butter and process until the crumbs are moist. Scoop a heaping tablespoonful of the graham cracker crumb mixture into each muffin liner. Press the crumbs flat into the bottom of each cup with the bottom of a measuring cup or drinking glass. Bake the crusts for 5 minutes, until golden. Transfer the muffin tin to a wire rack to cool while you prepare the filling. For the filling: Beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, and maple syrup in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until combined and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Lower the mixer speed and beat in the egg and egg yolk just until incorporated. Beat in the pumpkin, and vanilla until combined. Beat in the cornstarch, spices, and salt.  Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the 12 cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and dry, and centers are slightly jiggly. Cool the cheesecakes in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, until cooled completely. To serve, remove the cheesecakes from the pan and peel away the liners. Arrange cheesecakes on a serving platter and garnish with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Place 1 Oreo in each of the liners. Place the remaining 12 Oreos in a large ziptop bag and crush with a rolling pin. In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, sour cream, vanilla and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 more minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold just until combined. Add 1 cup of the crushed Oreos and fold until combined. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each muffin liner (about 1/4 cup each) and smooth the top. Sprinkle all over with remaining Oreos. Chill the cheesecake bites until firm and set, at least 6 hours or up to 2 days.
