How to Make It

Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a regular cupcake baking pan with 16 paper liners and place one Oreo cookie in each liner. Set aside.
Mix
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Fold
Sprinkle in the Oreo cookie crumbs and fold into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until well combined.
Spoon
With a tablespoon, spoon the Oreo cheesecake mixture evenly on top of the Oreo cookies, filling each cupcake cup with about two tablespoons of batter. Sprinkle each cheesecake with more Oreo cookie crumbs.
Bake
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the middles are set. Be careful not to over-bake.
Cool
Let the cheesecake cool for at least 30 minutes and then remove the paper wrappers. Place the bites in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It’s best to let them chill for about 2 hours for optimal taste. Optionally, top with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos!
