Tips for Making The Best Mini Oreo Cheesecakes
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature. It helps them mix together better and ensure your cheesecake has a smooth texture once it's baked.
- Beat your cream cheese on a medium to medium high speed before adding the other ingredients! This helps to prevent lumps from forming in the cheesecake batter and helps the cheesecake bake up properly.
- Mix on a low speed once you start mixing ingredients into the cream cheese. After you've fluffed up the cream cheese, you want to incorporate as little air as possible into the batter. Excess air in your batter can cause your cheesecake to crack!
- Beat your egg in a separate bowl then slowly mix them into your cheesecake batter. This will make it easier to incorporate and help you avoid over-mixing your batter.
- Follow the cooling instructions to a T! I know it's a slow process, but it's worth it. It helps ensure your cheesecake has the perfect consistency once it's cooled.
- If your cheesecake cracks while baking or cooling, don't fret! You'll be topping each little cheesecake with chocolate ganache and no one will ever know.
- Make room in your fridge ahead of time so you can easily chill the cheesecake once it reaches room temperature.
