Oreos, big and small

Who doesnt love Oreos? Oreos, big or small, double cream or original, they are all sinfully addictive. I came across a very cute recipe last week - Mini Oreo Cheesecake. So simple with few ingredients.

Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
(makes approx 12 mini cheesecakes)

• 1 pkg. Oreo cookies
• 2 (8 oz or 250g) packages of cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulate sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• cupcake liners

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C). Line cupcake tray with cupcake liners. Place one Oreo cookie in each cupcake liner
2. Crush up remaining cookies finely and set aside
3. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated and smooth
4. Fold in crushed Oreo cookies
5. Spoon mixture into the cupcake cups about ¾ of the way up
6. Bake for 20-25mins. Keep a close eye on it as you do not want the cheesecakes to brown
7. Let cool and refrigerate for up to 3 hours before serving

I love how the Oreo cookie acts as the crust of the cheesecake...

And now following in Aran Goyoaga's and Beatrice Peltre's footsteps...
