Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Muffin tin and liners
  • Food processor

Ingredients
  

For the cheesecakes:

  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 10 Oreos crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips plus 1 TBSP, melted
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the chocolate whipped cream:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, pulse Oreos until finely crushed, then transfer to a small bowl. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a freezer baggie and a rolling pin to crush them.
  • Stir melted butter into crushed Oreos. In a 6-slot cupcake tin lined with cupcake wrappers, spoon Oreo crust into bottoms (about 2-3 tbsp in each) and press down, either with the back of a small measuring cup or your fingers.
  • Bake the crusts for 5-6 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl using the paddle attachment on your mixer, beat the cream cheese for about 1 minute on medium speed.
  • Next mix in the sugar, and beat for another 30 seconds or so.
  • Follow with the egg, the melted chocolate chips, and then the vanilla, mixing until combined in between each ingredient.
  • Using a cookie or cupcake scoop, fill each cupcake slot with cheesecake batter, almost all the way to the top.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, then let cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours. Let chill in the fridge for several more hours before consuming and adding whipped cream.

To make the chocolate whipped cream:

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add your heavy cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder.
  • Begin by mixing on low speed just until ingredients start to combine, then increase to medium-high speed.
  • Keep a close eye on your mixer. Depending on speed, it could take about 3-7 minutes for the whipped cream consistency to form (I recommend to start checking after a few minutes.) You'll know it's done when soft-ish stiff peaks form.
  • Spoon or pipe a dollop of whipped cream onto your chilled cheesecakes, then enjoy!
