1 ½cupsoreo crumbs
2tbspmelted butter
Cheesecake
2packagesfull fat cream cheese, room temperature8 oz each
⅓cupsugar
1tspvanilla extract
3tbspbrewed espresso *see note*
2largeeggs
Instructions
Crust
Preheat the oven to 350º F.
Line a regular sized muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oreo crumbs and melted butter until it resembles coarse sand.
Put 1-2 tbsp of oreo crumbs in each muffin cup.
Use a 1/3 cup (or similar) to press the oreo crumbs down firmly into the pan.
Bake the crust for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool while prepping the cheesecake.
Cheesecake
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth, 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the sugar, vanilla extract, and brewed espresso until smooth.
Beat in the eggs.
Place a little more than 2 tbsp of cheesecake batter in each muffin cup.
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake is only slightly jiggly.
Allow the cheesecakes to cool to room temperature then place them in the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill before serving. If refrigerating overnight, loosely cover the cheesecakes in plastic wrap.
Brewed espresso will give you a bolder coffee flavor then brewed coffee, but you can use coffee as well. Or you can also use espresso powder in place of the brewed coffee. Both are awesome! If using espresso powder use 2 tbsp espresso powder.
