Patriotic Mini Cheesecakes
Whether it’s Independence Day, Memorial Day, or any other patriotic occasion, having a festive and delicious dessert is a must. And what better way to celebrate than with patriotic mini cheesecakes?
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup red white, and blue jimmies sprinkles
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 32 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 36 Golden Oreos
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Crust
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Place one Golden Oreo in the bottom of each liner.
- Crush the remaining Golden Oreos in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- In a separate bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with melted butter until well mixed.
- Divide the Oreo mixture evenly among the cupcake liners, pressing it down firmly to create a compact crust.
Step 2: Making the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the sugar to the cream cheese, beating until well incorporated.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
Notes
- – Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before starting. Softened cream cheese is easier to beat and results in a smoother texture.
- – Gently tap the muffin tin on the counter after filling the liners to release any air bubbles.
- – Allow the cheesecakes to cool completely before refrigerating to prevent condensation from forming on the surface.
- – For a more festive touch, you can top each cheesecake with a small American flag toothpick before serving.
- – If you want a chocolate twist, you can replace the Golden Oreos with chocolate sandwich cookies.
