It appears as if my sweet tooth is calling the shots these days. Maybe it’s the holiday spirit, friends and family visiting from out of town, resulting in long lazy lunches or the fact that my trainer is on vacation. Whatever it is, I’m going to enjoy these last few days before making my New Year resolutions.

I’m a sucker for anything Oreo, anything mini, and lately, anything cheesecake. So when my sister asked me to bake for her office Christmas party, mini Oreo cheesecakes naturally came to mind.

My mom actually introduced me to Oreo cheesecake. She would make it for dinner parties, top it off with raspberry jam and crushed Oreos. It was always a crowd pleaser, and my sisters and I would be so excited when we found a slice in the fridge the next morning. I used her recipe and adapted it to make mini cheesecakes, they’re cuter for a party. My recommendation is to make them the day before the event and refrigerate overnight – they taste so much creamier when they’re cold.

Oh… and definitely have a few extra Oreos to snack on while you make these – trust me, they’ll come in handy.

Warning: these are cute and unique. May cause mouth to water.
