These cheesecakes are so good, they taste like they’re made with dairy cream cheese. Since they’re made as individual portions, this recipe is perfect for dressier occasions that warrant a plated dessert.
12-cup mini cheesecake pan (ideally with removable bottoms)
nonstick cooking spray, such as Glicks
12 Oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
12 ounces parve cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup parve sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
1 large egg, room temperature
6 Oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
parve whipped cream
6 Oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies, cut in half
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 12-cup mini cheesecake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a food processor, pulse 12 Oreos to make fine crumbs. Add margarine and pulse until mixture is somewhat clumpy.
Evenly distribute in the mini cheesecake pan, making sure to press down firmly to create even crusts. Bake five minutes and set aside to cool.
In an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the mixer bowl as needed.
Add the egg and mix on low speed until just combined. Fold in the six crushed Oreos.
Evenly distribute the cheesecake filling between the 12 crusts.
Bake 15–17 minutes, until cheesecakes are just set.
Remove from the oven and cool at least one hour at room temperature.
Cover cheesecakes tightly with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill at least two to three hours and up to overnight.
Right before serving, top each cheesecake with whipped cream and half an Oreo.
