Ingredients

Crust:

  • 12 Oreo cookies crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted

Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 6 Tablespoons cold heavy whipping cream

Topping:

  • 1/2 can cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs, sugar and melted butter until crumbs are well moistened. Divide crumb mixture evenly among 6 serving cups and press into the bottom to form a crust layer. Refrigerate until the filling is ready.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the softened cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth and light, 2-3 minutes. Add the sour cream and whipping cream to the bowl. Mix until thick and creamy, 3-5 minutes.
  3. Evenly spoon or pipe the filling into the prepared cups (I like to use a ziplock sandwich bag and cut one corner to easily pipe the filling into the cups). Make sure to leave room at the top for your cherry pie filling. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Serve with cherry pie filling. (or see note below).

Recipe Notes

This cheesecake is delicious plain too! If you prefer to add fresh fruit or another type of pie filling (like blueberry) that works great too. Great fresh fruit options could be sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc. I’ve also been known to use another type of crust. Simply replace the Oreo’s with graham crackers, golden Oreo cookies, or biscoff cookies, just to name a few.
