Cheesecake Cups: Ingredients & Equipment
For this Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes recipe, you will need …
Ingredients
- Oreos – divided into 12 whole ones and 8 chopped ones.
- full-fat cream cheese – at room temperature. Any cream cheese will work, but I used the Philadelphia brand myself!
- salt, powdered sugar, egg whites, vanilla extract – the rest of your ingredients, which, combined, make up your scrumptious cheesecake!
- toppings – like whipped cream, hot fudge, or more Oreos, cut into quarters! Kind-of optional, but kind of not, because I can’t imagine these Oreo cheesecake cups without some kind of topping!
Equipment
- muffin tin – lined with cupcake liners.
- large mixing bowl and hand mixer – to combine your cheesecake ingredients.
How to make Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes
First, prep your supplies. Preheat the oven to 300F, line a muffin tin with cupcake liners, and place each of the 12 whole Oreos in the bottom of the cupcake liners.
Second, mix your cream cheese. In a large mixing bowl, with a hand mixer on medium, combine the cream cheese, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix this until all the cream cheese is nice and fluffy. Then add the powdered sugar and egg whites, and mix once again on medium until it’s all incorporated.
Third, bake your Oreo cheesecake cups. Fill each cupcake liner with the mixture about ¾ to the top. Bake in them for about 35 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean from the center of one of the cupcakes.
Last, enjoy the cupcakes! Once the cups are done baking, leave the cupcake pan in the oven for 15 minutes. Then take the pan out of the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Refrigerate them until you’re ready to serve them. Make sure to add some toppings!
