Ingredients
- Crust
- 1/2 package Oreos
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Cheesecake Batter
- 1 pound cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 12 mini Twix bars, chopped into small pieces
Directions
-
In a food processor, grind up the Oreos into fine crumbs.
-
Put the crumbs into a large bowl and add in the sugar. Mix to combine.
-
Then pour in the melted butter and mix to coat all of the crumbs with butter.
-
Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Scoop a Tablespoon of the cookie crumbs into each cupcake liner.
-
Using your hand, press the crumbs down firmly.
-
Set the cupcake pan aside while you work the cheesecake filling.
-
(Sometimes I have some cookie crumb mixture left over. So if you do too, don’t worry.)
-
In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese until smooth on medium low speed, about 3 minutes.
-
With the mixer on medium low speed, add in the sugar and mix to combine.
-
Then add in the vanilla extract and mix. Slowly pour in the lightly beaten eggs and mix until the eggs are incorporated.
-
Add in the sour cream and combine.
-
Chop the mini Twix bars into small pieces.
-
Add them into the cheesecake batter and gently fold them in.
-
Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the cheesecake batter into each cupcake liner. Bake the cheesecakes at 275 degrees for 30 minutes.
-
Chill the cheesecakes overnight in the refrigerator. Then enjoy!
