Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe to create Aldi-style Oreo cheesecakes. These mini cheesecakes are delicious and easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need and the steps to follow: ### Ingredients #### For the crust: - 1 pack of Oreo cookies (15-20 cookies) - 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted #### For the cheesecake filling: - 16 oz cream cheese, softened - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 2 large eggs - 10 Oreo cookies, crushed (for mixing into the batter) - Optional: mini Oreo cookies for garnish ### Instructions 1. **Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). 2. **Prepare the Crust:** - In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. - Mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter until well combined. - Line a muffin tin with paper liners and press about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture into the bottom of each liner to form the crust. Press firmly to compact. 3. **Make the Cheesecake Filling:** - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. - Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until well combined. - Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Do not overmix. - Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. 4. **Fill the Muffin Tins:** - Divide the cheesecake batter evenly over the crusts in the muffin tin. Fill each liner almost to the top, leaving a little room for the cheesecakes to rise. 5. **Bake:** - Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. - Turn off the oven and let the cheesecakes sit in the oven for an additional 10 minutes with the door slightly ajar to prevent cracking. 6. **Cool and Chill:** - Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature. - Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. 7. **Serve:** - Once chilled, remove the cheesecakes from the muffin tin and peel off the paper liners. - If desired, garnish each cheesecake with a mini Oreo cookie or whipped cream. ### Enjoy!
