Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 200 grams (1 ½ cups) Oreo crumbs
- 2 tablespoons (40 grams) melted butter
For the cheesecake filling:
- 340 grams (12 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 100 grams (1/2 cup) sugar
- 25 grams (3 tablespoons) flour
- 115 grams (1/2 cup) sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons mint extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams/4 to 5 cookies (1/2 cup) chopped Mint Oreos
- Green gel food color (optional)
For the chocolate cream:
- 220 ml (1 cup) heavy cream, cold
- 3 tablespoons icing sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
To make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Apply cupcake liners to a cupcake pan. Set aside.
- Combine the crumbs together with the melted butter. Press some of the mixture (around 1 ½ tablespoons per cup) into each cupcake liner and press evenly into the bottoms.
- Put in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let them cool while you prepare the filling.
To make the filling and topping:
- Reduce oven to 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2.
- Next, in a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, combine the sugar, cream cheese, and flour until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Apply the sour cream, vanilla extract, and mint extract. Mix on low speed until well incorporated.
- Apply eggs one at a time, whisking slowly and scraping the sides of the bowl after every addition. Add the chopped Mint Oreos.
Pour some green gel icing color if you want to get a lovely shade of green (optional). - Spread the batter equally between the cupcake liners; fill most of the way.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, then turn off oven and leave the door closed for another 17-19 minutes.
- Then, crack the oven door and let the cheesecakes cool for five minutes. Remove and refrigerate to chill and set.
- In the meantime, prepare the chocolate cream. In a mixing bowl, apply the heavy cream, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder; using an electric mixer beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- To finish, pipe some cream on top of each cheesecake. Garnish with ½ of a mint Oreo. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
Enjoy!
