Mini Cheesecakes with Oreo Crust

{pic edited with the new A Beautiful Mess app}

2 blocks (8 oz each) cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
12 Oreo cookies
*topping

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl with hand mixer until well blended. One at a time add eggs, beating after each until blended. Place one cookie on bottom of 12 paper lined muffin cups. Cover with cream cheese mixture and bake for 20 minutes or until centers are almost set (my oven takes exactly 22 minutes). Cool. Add topping and then refrigerate for three hours. 

*Topping: strawberries, hot fudge, raspberries, cherries, or your favorite. Get creative! 

With strawberries in season, we have been eating them here like they are candy! They are Liam's new favorite fruit, so I topped our cheesecakes off with a chocolate covered strawberry. I actually caught the little guy grabbing the strawberries off the top. See how three of the cheesecakes are already bare?! Sneaky...
