Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.333 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 12 mini cupcake liners
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a mini cupcake baking tray with 12 mini cupcake liners.
In a food processor, pulse chocolate sandwich cookies until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the melted butter until evenly combined.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cookie mixture into each cupcake liner and press firmly to create the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, egg, and sour cream to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until completely combined and smooth.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crusts in the liners, filling each one nearly to the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the centers are slightly set but still jiggle when shaken gently.
Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spoon a small dollop of cherry pie filling onto the top of each cheesecake.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld and the cheesecakes fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
