Ingredients
– 16 whole chocolate sandwich cookies (one per mini cheesecake)
– 454 g cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3/4 cup chocolate sandwich-cookie crumbs (reserve a few tablespoons for topping)
– whipped cream for serving
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12 to 16 cup standard muffin tin with paper liners. Place one whole chocolate sandwich cookie in the bottom of each liner.
2-Prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
3-Fold in crumbs. Gently fold in the 3/4 cup chocolate sandwich-cookie crumbs with a spatula until combined. Crush cookies by hand or in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin to keep some chunkiness; avoid over-processing for texture.
4-Assemble. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture over the cookie in each cup, dividing evenly.
5-Add topping. Sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs on top of each.
6-Bake. Bake 14 to 16 minutes, until centers are set (do not overbake). Centers should jiggle slightly.
7-Cool. Cool at least 30 minutes, then remove liners and refrigerate at least 2 hours to finish setting.
8-Serve. Optional: top with whipped cream and extra crushed cookies before serving.
