On March 6th of this year, milk’s (and my own) favorite cookie, Nabisco’s Oreo, will be turning 100!
In celebration of the milestone, Nabisco has released a limited edition flavor called “Birthday Cake” and I’m really excited about this, because I really do love Oreos, but I mean, who doesn’t?!
While I unfortunately haven’t had a chance to try them yet (I haven’t even seen them in stores where I live), so far the feedback (of the lucky ones whose stores are actually carrying them) seems to be positive.
Until I get a chance to try them for myself however, I will just have to make do with the original... life is so hard sometimes.
Below is what I decided to make to celebrate both the Oreo’s birthday and my little (well younger, he’s been quite a bit taller than me for some time now) brother’s 22nd birthday.
I decided on the mini Oreo cheesecakes for two reasons. One, the whole two birds with one stone thing, meaning, I got something to blog about, while eating Oreos and made something for my brother’s birthday (so I guess that’s three birds..), and two he loves all things sweet, chocolate and cheesecake-y.
Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
adapted from the recipe @kraftrecipes.com
32 Oreo cookies, divided
3 pkg. of 8oz cream cheese (I like Philadelphia)
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup of sour cream
1 tsp vanilla (wish my homemade extract was ready!)
3 eggs
Whipped cream topping (make it yourself if you have time)
Directions
Heat oven to 350
Place 1 cookie in each of the cupcake holders
Chop the remaining 8 cookies and set aside
Beat cream cheese and sugar until blended
Add sour cream and vanilla until mixed well
Add eggs, 1 at a time
Stir in chopped cookies
Scoop into baking cups
Bake 18 to 20 mins
Cool completely and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours
Top with whipped cream.
Makes 24 mini cheesecakes
***Kraft Kitchen Tips:
If you are going to make ahead: Cheesecakes can be stored in refrigerator up to 3 days, or frozen up to 1 month, before topping with COOL WHIP and cookie half just before serving. If freezing cheesecakes, thaw overnight in refrigerator before garnishing.
Happy Birthday Oreo!
and to Stephen too!
