Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 packets (250g) Oreos
  • ~1/4 cup (100g) Butter, melted

Filling

  • ~2 cups (450g) cream cheese
  • ~7 fl oz (200ml) double cream, whipped
  • ~1/3 cup (50g) grated chocolate, plus extra for topping
  • ~1 cup (100g) powdered sugar (icing sugar)
  • ~2.7 fl oz (80ml) Irish cream liqueur (Baileys)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo Crust: Roughly break the Oreo biscuits into a food processor and blitz them at high speed until they turn into fine breadcrumbs. Melt the butter in a saucepan, then combine it thoroughly with the biscuit crumbs.
  2. Form Base: Divide the biscuit mixture evenly between 9 muffin cases and press down firmly with the back of a teaspoon to form a compact base. Place them in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour, allowing the crust to set.
  3. Make Filling: In a large bowl, lightly whip together the cream cheese, Irish cream liqueur, powdered sugar, and grated chocolate until smooth. Then carefully fold in the whipped double cream until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
  4. Assemble Cheesecakes: Spoon the filling evenly into each muffin case over the chilled base. Smooth the tops as needed and refrigerate the assembled cheesecakes for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow them to set properly.
  5. Serve: When ready to enjoy, gently remove the mini cheesecakes from the muffin cases and sprinkle with extra grated chocolate as a finishing touch. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the double cream is whipped to soft peaks before folding into the filling for a light, airy texture.
  • Chilling the bases thoroughly is key to preventing them from crumbling when adding the filling.
  • Use muffin cases that are sturdy enough to hold the mixture without leaking.
  • These cheesecakes are best consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Irish cream liqueur with Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer or omit entirely.
