golden oreo individual cheesecakes. oh so so so good! nothing more to say, here is the recipe:
Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
{slightly adapted from Pink Parsley}
Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes
Martha Stewart's Cupcakes
makes 30 cupcakes
- 42 Golden Oreos - 30 left whole, and 15 food processed (just pulsed, not liquified...)
- 2 lbs cream cheese, room temperature (I use 16oz of reduced fat, and 16oz of fat free - this REALLY increased cooking time)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- pinch of salt
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the sugar, and beat until smooth. Beat in the vanilla, then drizzle in the eggs. When well combined, mix in the greek yogurt and salt. Stir in the chopped cookies by hand.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tins, filling each one almost to the top. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until the filling is just set, about 22 minutes (Mine was more like 45 mins by the time they were freaking done. I highly recommend using full fat cream cheese for this recipe...mine were still DELICIOUS)
Transfer the tins to wire racks to cool completely, then refrigerate (in tins) at least 4 hours. Remove from tins just before serving.
such creamcheesy goodness should be shared with everyone! i brought mine to work and passed them out around 3pm when people start usually start to fall asleep at their desks :)
Enjoy!
