16 chocolate cookie and cream sandwiches (Oreos), whole
5 chocolate cookie and cream sandwiches, crushed (for the cheesecake filling)
Whip cream for garnish, optional
Additional chocolate cookie and cream sandwiches for garnish, optional
Paper cupcake liners
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375.
Line cupcake pan with paper liners and place one whole chocolate and cream sandwich in the bottom of each paper liner.
Crush five chocolate cookie and cream sandwiches into small bits.
Cream together cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and mix well. Mix in crushed chocolate cookie and cream sandwich bits.
Fill each cup almost full with the cream cheese mixture.
Bake for 15 minutes at 375 until cheesecake is set. Let cool completely. The cheesecake cups will rise and look puffy when they first come out of the oven, and then they'll sink a little.
Store cheesecake cups in the refrigerator.
Garnish with whip cream and cookie prior to serving.
