Ingredients

Scale

Crust Layer

1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
2 1/2 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

Two 8-ounce blocks of softened cream cheese
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Neon-green gel food coloring

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Set your oven to 350°F and place paper liners in a standard cupcake pan.
Toss roughly 10–11 Oreo cookies into a food processor and blend until they turn into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse again to coat the crumbs evenly.
Spoon the mixture into each cupcake liner, pressing it firmly to form a compact base.
In a mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese together with the sugar until the texture becomes creamy and lump-free. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then blend in the vanilla.
Add drops of neon-green coloring until you achieve that unmistakable Grinch shade.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared liners—about 1/4 cup in each—doing your best to keep them balanced and even.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. The centers should have a gentle wobble when you lightly shake the pan.
Let the cheesecakes cool right inside the pan, then move them to the fridge to chill and set completely.
Finish them off with a swirl of whipped cream and holiday sprinkles, if you’re feeling extra festive.
