Mini Oreo Cheesecake Bites
Ingredients
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies whole
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces chocolate chopped
- crushed cookies for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F and line a mini muffin tin with 24 paper liners.
- Place one whole cookie flat in the bottom of each liner.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth, no lumps remaining.
- Beat in eggs, vanilla and sour cream just until combined (overbeating adds air that can crack the bites).
- Divide the batter evenly over the cookies, filling each liner about three-quarters full.
- Bake 16 to 18 minutes, until the edges look set and the centers still jiggle slightly when the pan is tapped.
- Cool bites in the tin 20 minutes, then transfer to the fridge and chill at least 1 hour, until fully set and cold.
- Heat heavy cream until steaming, pour over chopped chocolate, let sit 2 minutes, then whisk into a smooth ganache.
- Spoon a small amount of ganache over each chilled bite.
- Top with crushed cookie crumbs before the ganache sets.
Good to Know
Bake and chill the bites up to two days ahead, adding the ganache topping no more than a few hours before serving so it stays glossy.
