Ingredients:
- 180g Oreo cookie crumbs, finely pulsed
- 56g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1g sea salt
- 450g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 100g powdered sugar, sifted
- 5ml pure vanilla extract
- 240ml cold heavy whipping cream (min 36% fat)
- 100g Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
- 12 mini Oreos for garnish
Instructions:
- Line a standard 12 slot muffin tin with paper or foil liners.
- Combine 180g Oreo crumbs, 56g melted butter, and 1g sea salt in a bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Distribute the crumb mixture into the 12 liners. Press down firmly using a flat bottomed glass until the base is solid and even.
- Beat 450g of room temperature cream cheese and 100g of powdered sugar until the mixture is silky and free of lumps.
- Incorporate 5ml of vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture. Note: This adds the aromatic baseline for the filling.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip 240ml of cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form and the whisk leaves clear tracks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Note: Use a J motion with your spatula to keep the air trapped.
- Fold in 100g of coarsely chopped Oreos until just distributed.
- Divide the filling evenly among the muffin liners. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.
- Refrigerate for at least 120 minutes until the tops feel firm to a light touch.
- Garnish with mini Oreos and additional whipped cream if desired before serving.
