Ingredients
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
Crust and Topping
- 18 Golden Oreos, or red, white, and blue holiday Oreos
- 2 Tbsp red, white, and blue sprinkles, folded into batter
- 1 Tbsp red, white, and blue sprinkles, for topping
Optional Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberries
- Fresh blueberries
- Additional sprinkles
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 18 muffin cups with cupcake liners and place 1 Golden Oreo in the bottom of each liner.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, sour cream, and salt until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined. Fold in 2 tablespoons sprinkles.
- Divide batter evenly among liners, filling each about ¾ full. Top with remaining sprinkles.
- Bake for 16–20 minutes, or until centers are almost set. The centers should still have a slight jiggle when the pan is gently shaken
- Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish with whipped cream, berries, and additional sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Use nonpareils if you want a pretty tie-dyed effect. They will bleed into the batter as they bake. Use jimmies-style sprinkles if you want cleaner red, white, and blue specks.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- These mini cheesecakes can be made a day ahead, making them perfect for parties and holiday gatherings.
- For the cleanest look and best texture, serve chilled.
-
Add whipped cream and fresh berries just before serving.To help prevent sinking, avoid overmixing once the eggs are added. Bake just until the edges are set and the centers still have a slight jiggle, then let the cheesecakes cool gradually before chilling. A slight dip in the center is normal and perfect for adding whipped cream or berries.
