I can't think of much more fun than creating food from the heart with someone you love. What a great time I had on Valentine's Day with my beautiful young nieces! Hair pulled back, just the right aprons, and everything mise en place!
Thanks Stevie and Sydney for making my Valentine's day very special!
Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes
42 cream filled Oreos; 30 left whole and 12 coarsely crumbled
2 lbs Philadelphia Cream Cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 275. Line standard muffin pans with paper liners. Place one whole cookie in the bottom of each muffin liner. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Gradually add the sugar and beat until combined. Add vanilla. Drizzle the eggs a little at a time to combine, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in sour cream and salt. Fold in crumbled cookies by hand. Divide the batter among the liners, filling each almost to the top (I use an ice cream scoop for this...works perfectly!) Bake until set, rotating the muffin pans in the oven halfway through. Approximate cooking time 20-22 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Refrigerate in muffin pans at least 4 hours before serving.
Enjoy!
Note: Mise en place, a French phrase defined by the Culinary Institute of America as "everything in its place." It refers to the practice of getting organized and having everything premeasured and available for final preparation.
