What You’ll Need for the Crust

16 Oreos

2 tbsp Butter, Melted

The Cheesecake Filling

2 (8 oz) Cream Cheese, Softened

1/3 cup Sugar

2 Eggs

1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract

1/2 cup Sour Cream

1/2 cup Crushed Candy Cane Pieces

And the Ganache

1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

1 1/2 tbsp Butter

2 tsp Milk

2 tsp Corn Syrup

How to Make Mini Peppermint Cheesecakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with liners.

Pulse 16 Oreos in a food processor to make crumbs. Then pulse in 2 tbsp melted butter until well combined.

Spoon 1 tbsp of the cookie mixture into each liner and press down firmly.

In a medium size bowl, beat 2 (8 oz) softened cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp peppermint extract. Then beat in 1/2 cup sour cream. Fold in 1/2 cup crushed candy cane pieces.

Spoon about 1/4 cup mixture into each cup, filling them pretty full.

Bake for 15-18 minutes. The centers of the cheesecakes should be slightly jiggly. Remove from oven and let completely cool in the pan. Then refrigerate until firm.

Once cooled, prepare the ganache by melting together 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1 1/2 tbsp butter, 2 tsp milk, and 2 tsp corn syrup in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until completely well combined and smooth.

Top with whipped cream if desired.
