Equipment

Ingredients

Crust

1 ½ cups (180g) oreo crumbs
2 Tbsp (29g) melted butter

Cheesecake

16 oz (452g) full fat cream cheese, room temperature 2 packages
⅓ cup (66g) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp brewed espresso *see note*
2 large eggs

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.
1 1/2 cups (180g) oreo crumbs, 2 Tbsp (29g) melted butter
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.
16 oz (452g) full fat cream cheese, room temperature
Beat in the sugar, vanilla extract, and brewed espresso until smooth.
1/3 cup (66g) sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 3 Tbsp brewed espresso *see note*
Beat in the eggs.
2 large 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.
Top with coffee whipped cream and chocolate covered espresso bean.

Notes

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.
