Oreo Mini Cheesecake Recipe
When I saw my good friend Rachel made this Oreo Mini Cheesecake few weeks ago, I told myself I definitely want to make this too. As I'm not a great fan of the taste of the condensed milk, I used whipping cream instead. The recipe is quite easy to follow and only takes about 20 minutes of baking time. The end result was perfect! The mini cheesecake was not too sweet to my liking and the cake texture was so light it just melted in my mouth. Definitely a keeper for sure!
Oreo Mini Cheesecake
Ingredients: makes 12 (original recipe source from Wendy)
- 250g Cream cheese
- 150g Whipping cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs (70g each), separated
- a pinch of cream of tartar
- 60g Sugar
- 1 tube of Oreo (137g)
Method:
Separate Oreos, leaving 12 pcs without cream intact and round. Put the rest of the biscuits together with the filling into a food processor and pulse in fine.
Remember to preheat your oven (150C) and boil water after this.
Line big muffin tin (100ml capacity each) with 12 paper cups. Place 1 heaped teaspoon of oreo crumbs onto paper cups and lightly press the crumbs to flatten with a mini roller pin. (see pictures)
Cream cream cheese and 30g sugar on low speed until smooth, put in whipping cream, vanilla extract and egg yolks and continue to beat on low speed for another minute until well combined. Transfer cream mixtures to a large bowl and set aside.
Whisk egg whites until frothy, add in cream of tartar continue to beat until soft peaks. Add in 30g sugar and beat till stiff (as long as egg whites don't fall when overturned, it will be fine, no need to be pointy stiff).
Fold in egg whites to cream cheese mixtures with a rubber spatula.
Spoon cream cheese mixtures into prepared paper cups. Top with an oreo biscuit.
Bake for 20 minutes in a water bath.
Leave to cool in oven, door ajar. Cool completely before chilling.
Best chilled for 3 hours or more before serving.
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
