Ingredients
  

Oreo or Golden Oreo crust
  • 12 Oreo or Golden Oreo cookies Use 1 cookie per cup; place flat in the liner.

  • 16 oz cream cheese Softened for smooth batter.
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
Toppings
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced Slice thin for easy topping.
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Whipped cream For a swirl on top.
  • Red and blue sprinkles

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Prep
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Place one Oreo cookie flat in the bottom of each liner.
Make the cheesecake batter
  1. Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Beat in vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.
Bake and chill
  1. Divide batter evenly among the 12 cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  2. Bake for 18–20 minutes at 325°F until centers are just barely set.
  3. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Top and serve
  1. Before serving, swirl whipped cream onto each mini cheesecake.
  2. Top each with a strawberry slice and a few blueberries.
  3. Finish with a pinch of red and blue sprinkles.

Notes

For the cleanest set, let the centers bake until they’re only barely set (they will firm as they cool in the pan). Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freeze unfrosted cheesecakes only—freeze in a single layer, then thaw in the fridge overnight. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and a low-sugar strawberry topping while keeping chilling time the same.
