# What You'll Need:
→ Chocolate Cookie Cups
01 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
02 -
2 large eggs, let them sit out so they're not cold
03 -
1 cup packed light brown sugar
04 -
1/2 cup white sugar
05 -
1 cup softened unsalted butter
06 -
1/2 tsp salt
07 -
1 tsp baking soda
08 -
1/4 cup sifted black cocoa powder
09 -
1/4 cup sifted Dutch cocoa powder
10 -
2 cups plain flour
→ Oreo Cheesecake Filling
11 -
3/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies
12 -
1/2 cup sugar
13 -
8 oz softened regular cream cheese
14 -
1 cup cold heavy cream
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Chill them first. Sprinkle more Oreo crumbs on top if you want. Eat within a couple of days or freeze for up to a month.
02 -
Grab your cheesecake mix and either pipe or spoon it into the cookie cups. Pop them in the fridge for an hour or so until they firm up.
03 -
Gently mix the fluffy whipped cream into your cheesecake base until smooth.
04 -
In another bowl, whip together cream cheese and sugar until it's all nice and smooth. Toss in the Oreo crumbs and mix again.
05 -
Beat the cold heavy cream until you get stiff peaks. If your bowl and whisk are cold too, it goes even better.
06 -
Bake them for around 10 to 13 minutes. They should look set but still feel soft in the middle. Right as they're out of the oven, press down the center with a small jar to make a dip. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, twist to loosen, then move to a wire rack so they can cool down all the way.
07 -
Scoop dough (3 tablespoons at a time) into greased muffin tins. Flatten the tops with your fingers.
08 -
Slowly add your dry mix into the buttery mixture and stir just enough to bring it all together.
09 -
Beat the softened butter together with brown and white sugars until fluffy. Drop in the eggs one at a time on a lower speed, then splash in the vanilla. Make sure it all comes together.
10 -
Whisk up flour, black and Dutch cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, then set that off to the side.
11 -
Turn the oven to 350°F (175°C) and give your muffin pans a squirt of nonstick spray.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Can't find black cocoa powder? Use Dutch instead, but expect a different look and taste.
02 -
No Oreo crumbs handy? Just crush up regular Oreo cookies without the filling.
