I have been making cheesecakes for a few years but I needed something easier to transport and serve so I whipped up these little devils.

How To Make chocolate oreo mini cheesecakes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300'F. Trust me, 300'. Into an old cake pan or baking dish, pour 2 inches of water and preheat in the oven on bottom rack.

Step 2

Spray and line muffin tins with cupcake liners and place one cookie in the bottom of each cup. Put the remainder of cookies in a zipper bag and break into small pieces. I used a coffee cup. You don't want crumbs but coarse pieces.
Step 3

Combine cream cheese and sugar, scraping often. Add vanilla salt and cocoa powder, scraping often (see a trend here?) Add sour cream last. One last scrape to incorporate everything.
Step 4

Spoon or ladle cheesecake mixture on top of cookies to 2/3 full. Generously sprinkle crushed cookies on top of each cup.
Step 5

Bake for 30 minutes or until cheesecake slightly cracks on top.
Step 6

Cool and chill for an hour or two. Dive in!
