Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup Oreo Crumbs
  • 2.5 tablespoons Butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 2 packages Cream Cheese, softened 8 oz each
  • 0.5 cup Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Neon Green Food Coloring to desired color
  • Whipped Cream for garnish
  • Sprinkles for garnish

Equipment

  • Cupcake pan
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. Pulse around 10-11 Oreos in a food processor until they become fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse again until combined.
  3. Evenly divide the Oreo crust mixture between the cupcake liners, pressing firmly to create a compact crust base.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually mix in neon green food coloring until you reach your desired color.
  6. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake batter into each crust-lined cupcake liner.
  7. Bake for 15-17 minutes. The centers should remain slightly jiggly but set at the edges.
  8. Let the cheesecakes cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate until firm, approximately 2-3 hours.
  9. Garnish each mini cheesecake with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles before serving.
