# What You’ll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 10 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (about 5 oz)
02 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

03 - 12 oz cream cheese, softened

02 - Combine crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until crumbs are evenly moistened.
03 - Divide the crumb mixture evenly among liners (about 1 tbsp per cup). Press down firmly to form a base.

05 - Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Beat until just combined—do not overmix.
06 - Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over each crust (about 2 tbsp per cup). Smooth the tops.
07 - Bake for 16–18 minutes, until centers are just set (they may jiggle slightly).
08 - Cool in tin for 30 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
09 - Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
10 - Pipe or dollop whipped cream on each cheesecake. Garnish with Mini Eggs and optional sprinkles.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • Individual portions mean everyone gets their own adorable dessert without fighting over slices
  • The chocolate cookie crust eliminates any pastry anxiety and tastes like childhood nostalgia
  • They come together faster than you can hide the evidence of eating half the Mini Eggs while baking
02 -
  • Overmixing the filling introduces air bubbles that cause cracks during baking, so stop as soon as everything combines
  • The centers should still have a gentle wobble when you remove them from the oven because they continue cooking while cooling
  • Room temperature ingredients blend together seamlessly, so take everything out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before starting
03 -
  • Use a kitchen scale to portion the crust and filling evenly for bakery perfect results every time
  • Chop the Mini Eggs into various sizes from coarse to fine for better distribution and texture in every bite
