Ingredients

• 12 pieces Oreo cookies
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1 cup Cherry pie filling
• 0.5 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

Place one Oreo cookie at the bottom of each muffin cup. This will form the base of your cheesecakes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract, followed by the eggs, one at a time. Beat well after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Fold in the melted semisweet chocolate chips and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each to about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers of the mini cheesecakes are set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, spoon a generous dollop of cherry pie filling on top of each cheesecake.

Step 10

Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.

Step 11

Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra decadent touch.
